About this ebook

Coppélia knows that her assigned role as a sexbot means that she must be completely compliant to her clients’ demands, no matter what they may be. But this time it’s different – she doesn’t want to submit to the whims of the customers of the Club Galatea bordello anymore. She’s had enough. She tells her client no. The client is unhappy and makes an unsuccessful grab at her with his chubby calloused hands. She repeats her refusal but the client ignores her and forces himself on her. She has the strength to rip his head off with one hand but that would contravene her programming. Besides, she has no desire to hurt any human – not even this brute.

​In this genre-bending first book of the Sophont trilogy, Detective Inspector Karen Chambers is called in by NewMet City Special Victims Unit to interview a prospective rape victim and is shocked when she confirms that the victim is an android. The DI’s curiosity is piqued and she resolves to find out more about Coppélia.

​Why does she appear to have feelings and emotions? She’s clearly not a regular android, so who built her? And why?

​Neither Karen nor Coppélia are prepared for the incredible truth.

About the author

I suppose you could say I was a late starter as far as creative writing goes, dipping my toe into the writing world, seeking my voice, and finally publishing my first novel 'Revelation' in 2016 at the age of 59

 Just under five years later, I've now written and published ten novels, two novellas, and several short stories.

 Some writers like to stay strictly within the bounds of one genre but I could probably be described as a hybrid in that regard. I do stay within the genre of science fiction (for the most part) but I also like to move between the sub-genres of sci-fi, from advanced science and technology to space exploration to parallel universes and beyond.

​A born and bred Englishman, I've lived in Brazil since 2007 and I share my life with Eliene (a successful amateur distance runner), our cat, Tabitha, and our dogs Sophie and Simba. I'm an avid Tottenham Hotspur fan.
