The Weatherman has no such problems. Dressed in a brown two-piece suit, a cream coloured shirt, and wearing a dark brown bowler hat, he is instantly recognisable by border security. Carrying a ridged walking cane in his right hand, he can travel at will between sectors as often as required with no paperwork whatsoever. The border patrol officials know who he is and give him a wide berth. To refuse him free passage would be to risk their jobs – perhaps even their lives.
In this sci-fi thriller with a twist of urban fantasy set on a far distant planet, a teacher from the lowly Sector D, Ooze, stumbles across a strange young woman lost in the fog and is persuaded to leave his uneventful life behind him and join her on a quest. Little does he know that he is putting his life in such grave danger.
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.
