Book 1: Only Human - Nuclear
In July 2045, England is being pounded by mega storms, mega greed and mega corruption.
Two half-sisters, torn apart. Fusion is part human. Julia is only human. Her best friend is Jake, for as long as she can remember.
Fusion was kidnapped by Partner before her first birthday, blamed two-year-old Julia for not helping. Saw her father killed during a failed rescue. Burning with anger ever since, she's built an army against the world - to demonstrate she is not Artificial Intelligence but Superior Intelligence. And now the only human she cares about is the one that set her free and gave her her name.
We each have our own river flows. Flows where things change. Plans change. Sometimes, just sometimes, the only way to live is to die - unless you are only human.
The ebook is free on 18th September 2026, all markets.
'Petite and slim on the outside, Julia was a raging monster of revenge on the inside and her monster was strong. Knew no limits. Would never give up beating the bully. Robert had been shouting for her to stop but she was deaf to it. He ran over and grabbed her. Physically pulled her off and threw her aside, dropping beside Roberta's limp, bleeding body. The fight was over.
Only then, getting to her feet, fists clenched and entire body tensing in fury, did Julia make a sound. Opening her mouth wide, she looked up at the sky and released an ear-splitting scream. A primal scream of pain from the deepest, darkest hell of her life.
She screamed so loud, birds fled to the skys in terror. Animals trembled in the woods. When her lungs ran out of air, body and rage deflated, her mouth slowly closed and she trudged silently back to her place.
Slumping down next to Gurmeet, she crossed her legs and hung her head.
Gurmeet was staring at her. Everyone was staring at her, Roberta's blood trickling off her bare knuckles.
“Jesus. Where did that come from?”
Head still down, Julia said nothing. Sat with her long hair hiding her face. Only Gurmeet, sitting right beside her, heard her low sobs. Saw the tears falling onto her legs.
From the outside, Julia had shown she was tougher than hardened steel. On the inside, she was breaking. '
“See you Friday, Lia”Book 2: Only Human - Tsunami
As three advanced androids emerge with DNA mortality, they also emerge with the human affliction of knowing they will die. No longer just machines they know anger, ambition, love and, perhaps, even religion.
Android leader Fusion, born into mortality and exploitation, is openly determined to make a name for herself and scar the planet in that name. She's built an underground army to rule harder than Genghis Khan and the Roman Empire combined, but has a weakness she has yet to understand, her humanity.
As an Atlantic tsunami races towards England, the nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point lie directly in its path. The fate of the country, as the Partner Corporation subverts the world, is in the hands of a hypersonic plane, a giant nuclear battleship and a small band of rebels – led by teenage Julia and the MI5 man who wanted her dead.
Fusion, aged one.
“Time to get up, Lia”
Book 3: Only Human - Sister
Nick Johnson, the only surviving human racer in a banned series, is determined to prove he can beat his android rivals or die trying. In Kent, he's storming his stripped-out zerodrone down a forest track at 200mph.
Hundreds of miles away, in Somerset, a different storm is raging. Julia's team is under a ferocious swarmbot attack, watched by Max, who she's just seen grinning from his office window.
Thousands of miles away, in the Indian Ocean the grey man, brought back to life after a reactor leak, is aboard the 120,000 ton battleship HMS Vanguard, guiding it towards the missing HMS Tempest's beacon. Directly below the grey man's feet, the ships reactor levels are rising.
In the skys above, supersonic zerodrones and hypersonic Scramcats outpace the sun. None of them fast enough to catch Fusion's Shadow Star - a dark-matter aircraft, so fast it needs four thrusters pushing down to keep it in orbit.
Dubbed Thunderbirds on steroids, this is a cyber-thriller where even androids have to fight for their place in the world. A world changed by their own ambitions.
'Partner are secretly the most powerful corporation on Earth but even they don't understand who they really work for.
Five sisters are involved. Not all related. Not all human. The one thing they have in common is a mission to kill. Julia's mission was to avenge the dead - now she's after the not yet dead. To save them and herself, by killing her own mother. Flying after her, as her mother flys towards the true head of Partner. Towards Bu Mon. Those who know what Bu Mon really is never go near. No-one in their right mind.'
“Time to run, Lia”
Book 4: Only Human - Bu Mon
By September 2045, the line between humans and machines has dissolved.
In the Amazon rainforests, survivors of the Awá tribe are being hunted. When more are captured by Partner traffickers, one signals for help from the only one who can: Fusion - 4,000 miles away in her underground lair.
Fusion despises all humans except this one. Trauma bonded by their childhood escape, she jumps into her Shadow Star, and starts screaming around the world to the only human she cares about. Screaming at Mach 60, on a collision course with her past, to tear the Partner traffickers apart. Make them rue being only human and turn their android guards into scrap.
MI5 are closing on their internal leak. Partner are about to lose more than secret information. At Partner's helm lies Bu Mon – an undersea fortress and centre of Partner subversion across the globe. As Julia's mother closes on Bu Mon, Julia is closing on her mother, with nothing but hate in her heart and a gun oin her hand.
Also closing on Bu Mon is Hunter, at the helm of Professor Konopka's Kinetic Art - the most advanced yacht ever created, for it is alive.
'“As much as Julia thinks she wants to, when it comes to pulling the trigger she won’t. She won’t shoot her own mother, but her own mother will shoot her. She believes she owns Julia, like a possession. That she gave her life so she can take it away. If Julia points a gun at her, she will be the one who ends up dying.”
“So you want to get to Julia, to stop her?”
Tom looked at Tyler, with eyes that held no question. No doubt. Eyes of someone who had been pushed beyond all normal limits. Pushed though trial by nuclear fire. He knew exactly what he was going to do.
“I want to be the one pulling the trigger. Her mother deserves to die.”'

Other Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Love & Death
From a celestial being breaking a cycle of domestic abuse to a physicist racing through time to prevent a family tragedy, these stories jump through genres of sci-fi, thriller, fantasy and crime. Whether it is the grit of survival on a ravaged island or the quiet, heartbreaking moments in a hospital ward, Love & Death reminds us that while our bodies may fail, the echoes of our actions and strength of our connections remain immortal.
Seven short stories, one adapted for the London Short Story competition, where it was a runner up. Science fiction with a touch of romance, some with an element of the supernatural.
Ania's Song - written for an OCD girlfriend, so obsessed with tidyness she once wanted to take off the shirt I was wearing so she could iron it.
My Name is Sapphire - inspired by experiences of domestic violence, helped by the supernatural.
Happy Christmas - the value of unconditional kindness and never giving up. If we give up, are we not already dead?
London Fling - a runner up in the London Short Story competition, where a psychopathic killer is on the loose.
Crane Island - shipwreck survivors. Cut off from the world, their island refuge is facing an end of its own.
The Gift - as families, many of us don't always talk and important conversations are not had. Regret is a pointless emotion but, sometimes, there is no other way to describe it.
Dark Water - Huge beings in space - out of this world, yet still human in need.
Life From the Heart
Cameron's a broken man, trying to drown his sorrows when redemption screams out in the night.
In the pouring rain, Athena is being attacked by thugs. Cameron was too late to save his wife but he's not too late this time. Determined to help, he runs to her - into a storm far bigger than he could ever have imaged.
Athena is hounded by a dangerous past, loaded with dangerous secrets. Secrets involving state corruption and a mafia boss named Dirk Steiner. Steiner will stop at nothing to recover what he lost. As Cameron goes from grieving widower to desperate protector, he must navigate Steiner's demonic world of cold-hearted killers and high-speed pursuit. Surviving on the edge, as they try to rebuild their souls.
Can the broken-hearted really find redemption in saving another? Does true love truly die, even after the heart stops beating?
'"That was my wife." Cameron is in ruins. His wife has been murdered, along with every motive to go on. He's turned to solice in cider - no longer caring about the new day to come. Not caring until he hears a scream in the night. A new damsel in distress. Someone else who needs help and, even now, he can't say no.
It's a decision that takes him on a path more dangerous than he could ever have known. People are going to die and he could be one of them.'
Written in 1989, Life from the Heart was my very first book. Had been trying to pen a full-length story for years when this just came to me. Outlined it in a single, four-pages of A4 sitting. Not while drinking cider but Southern Comfort, in Mainz, Germany - on a degree placement at IBM's hard-drive manufacturing plant.
With a touch of the supernatural and love over death, my director of studies hated it. Surprisingly, my usually critical sister loved it.
Dozy Wayster
Being the luckiest man on Earth can be a dangerous business.
High in the sky, in the Casino of the Gods the betting stakes have become higher than ever. It's the annual 'Heaven a Mortal Week' and this year the games master, Gambit, has chosen Dozy Wayster - professional sleepaholic and village lazy bones, with breath so bad it peels wallpaper and a face so ugly it shatters mirrors.
But, as with everything in the universe, there must be balance – for in every other way, Dozy is the luckiest man on Earth. Gambit knows this and has, very deliberately, chosen not to tell the gamblers. Especially not the muscle-bound Mighty God of Righteous Doom who has just taken the bet.
'“Remember, he must be heavenised by non-Godly means. You have one week to succeed.”
Holding his massive sword, standing tall and proud in his armour, the Mighty God of Righteous Doom narrowed his eyes.
“Won't need a day.”
With a loud parp, he flapped his cape and leapt off the cloud.'
Dozy Wayster is the village lazy bones. Sleeping in peaceful ignorance of his pending doom. Unaware that a warrior God is pounding closer as he snores...
Inspired by the usual writer naggings of 'get a real job', this was a really fun book to write. Only took three months and a big London publisher liked it, requesting the whole thing. Not having the luck of Dozy, when I supplied the whole thing, that editor had left and the new one wasn't a fan. That was 1993 and, since then, the story has been added to and modified. Might modify it again, or might just leave it as is. The planned sequel was never written as had moved on to a three-book hard sci-fi saga, set on Earth and spanning two million years. Guess I should get back to those books first.
