Hi fellow Wattpadders!

Thanks for dropping by and checking out my work. Let me know what you think, because I'm here to learn.

At the moment writing isn’t my day-job, but I love to see my ideas come alive on screen and paper, so I write a little bit every day...

My first full length novel was 'Red Spring'. It needs a serious re-write, but it proved that I could produce enough words to fill a book - and became a 'featured novel' on Wattpad.

Since then I've started work on a series of pirate/fantasy books for my children, and focussed my attention on some one-off stories.

Do check out ‘System' - set in a world where the boundaries between different forms of inteligent life are beginning to blur...
 
And comments would be appreciated for 'Taking Time' - my time-travel yarn...

I'll return to Mars though at some point, so watch this space...

Tim

Apologies again for the edit on System - it needed to be done and should flow more smoothly now.
I've just posted the penultimate chapter - just one more to go...
Thanks for your support!!

Hi all,
I've just finished a major edit of System. The chapters have been brought together properly and there are a number of changes in the text. Thanks for reading.

Hi all, I do hope you've been enjoying System. It's nearly finished now and I'm working on the last two chapters at the moment.
You may have noticed that I've been posting it in small sections as I've been writing it - rather than in completed chapters. Wattpad only allows 100 'chapters' per book so I'm going to have to rearange it into proper chapters - as it will appear in the finished novel.
I do appologise if this messes up your reading - particularly if you're using an app. You may need to delete it all and start again.
Many apologies... Normal service will be resumed shortly...

Just published the first half of a big chapter - the next one will reveal the villain of System. Who do you think was behind the disappearance of Arden Crittis?

I've just posted three entire chapters of ‘System' previously known as 'The Art of Being'. These finish with a big reveal, so I hope you can find where you were...
