A recent engineering graduate I've kept writing as a hobby that I do in my spare time and share with my girlfriend. I like to read a wide range of books including fiction and non-fiction but I mainly focus on writing Sci-Fi and action thrillers, the hard bit is focusing on doing one idea and not flitting between the other.

Some of my favourite authors are:

Ian Rankin
Richard Morgan
Dan Abnett
Andy McNab
Jack Campell

I'm willing to read other people's work and feel free to critique my work.
Have fun

Good evening all, it has taken too long but I've added a a short story on here. It's still science-fiction based and introduces Gabriel Stricker, a character that will appear in A Necessary Evil when I get round to writing more of it. 

Comments are always welcome!

Hiya guys, sorry I haven't been putting lots of stuff on, life's been pretty busy at the moment. I'm still working on my story at the moment and I've been rewriting my first Chapter, bulking it out a bit as well which I've added as well as deciding on an actual title for the book!

I'm working on Chapter 3 at the moment and I hope to have it on over the next few days. Have fun!

Sorry that it's taken such a long time and that I've been very quiet over the past few months, I've just had some pretty big changes to my life such as gaining a full engineering job and spending two and a half weeks with my family in Vancouver. 

Still I've added a new chapter to B Company and I'm working on the next Chapter now whilst trying to think up of a better name for the book. Have fun, read and comments always welcome.

Hiya, sorry I haven't been on for a while. Life has been really hectic and I haven't found the time to sort some new work out. Basically I've managed to get an engineering job! I started in December and they are keeping me busy and there is plenty of work on the horizon. I am going to get back into my writing!
