Within a couple of days of Telepath being released, people started asking about a sequel. I’ve already started work on Hive Mind 2, but I’m afraid that it’s likely to be about a year before it’s published. Sadly books take a lot longer to write than to read.
The good news is that I’m hoping to get another book out before Christmas. More news on that in a month or two.
If you’d like to get email updates when I have a new book published, then please sign up here.

A new story, with new characters, set in a very different future from that of the Earth Girl trilogy.
Amber is one of over a million eighteen-year-olds in one of the great hive cities of twenty-sixth century Earth. She’s about to enter the Lottery of 2532, which will assess her abilities and decide her hive level, her profession, her whole future life. Amber’s dream is to be level 10 or above, her nightmare is to be a level 99 Sewage Technician.
When Lottery discovers Amber is a rare and precious telepath, she must adapt to a new life protecting the people of the crowded hive city. Her job is hunting down criminals before they commit their crimes, but she doesn’t know she’s being hunted herself.

Some people will have already noticed that I’ve got a story in each of two recent anthologies.
If you are interested in an anthology of Space Opera stories, then Crises and Conflicts is published by NewCon Press. It’s available in ebook, paperback, and a limited edition signed hardback. My story is set in the portal future of the Earth Girl series, and is called The Wolf, The Goat, and the Cabbage. As the editor said, nothing makes you think Space Opera like cabbages…
If you are interested in an anthology of apocalypse fiction featuring disabled and chronically ill protagonists then The Defying Doomsday anthology is published by Twelfth Planet Press and includes my very own doomsday story, called I Will Remember You. It’s available in ebook and paperback.
There’s good news for those of you who’ve been eagerly asking for physical books as well as ebooks of the new stories. Frontier is now available as a 182 page paperback.
The paperback is now listed on Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble, and will slowly filter on to some other outlets as well.
Full details and links are here.
Those who’ve been requesting paperbacks of the extras in the Earth Girl series will be glad to know I’m currently working on a paperback of Frontier. With luck that will be available next month, and then I’ll be gradually catching up with the others.
If anyone has been waiting for Hera 2781 to appear on iTunes, Kobo, or Nook, it’s there now!

Frontier, the first novella featuring Amalie and her life on the frontier colony world Miranda, is now available as an ebook in a variety of formats.
KINDLE – USA UK AU CA DE FR ES IT NL

FRONTIER is the first novella in the Epsilon Sector Novella sequence featuring Amalie.
June 2788. Amalie’s the last unmarried girl in Jain’s Ford settlement.
Life on a frontier farming planet in the twenty-eighth century has a few complications. The imported Earth animals and plants don’t always interact well with the local ecology, and there’s a shortage of doctors and teachers. The biggest problem though is the fact there are always more male than female colonists arriving from other worlds. Single men outnumber single women by ten to one, and girls are expected to marry at seventeen.
Amalie turned seventeen six months ago, and she’s had nineteen perfectly respectable offers of marriage. Everyone is pressuring her to choose a husband, or possibly two of them. When Amalie’s given an unexpected chance of a totally different future, she’s tempted to take it, but then she gets her twentieth offer of marriage and it’s one she can’t possibly refuse.
Note that most of the first two chapters of FRONTIER have appeared as the story Epsilon Sector 2788 in the EARTH 2788 short story collection. The other eighteen chapters are entirely new.

Today I’ve got a post over on the Author Allsorts blog, talking about why I write Science Fiction and Fantasy. The answer is that it’s etched in my bones.
I also did an extra interview for Litpick during the pre-Christmas chaos.
2015 has had some low points, particularly breaking my ankle in the spring and catching a nasty virus during the pre-Christmas preparations.
There have been a lot of high points too though. The big one was that the final
book in the Earth Girl trilogy, Earth Flight, came out in the USA. I’ve also published three ebook extras in the series. Earth 2788: The Earth Girl Short Stories, Earth and Fire: An Earth Girl Novella, and (sneaking out just before Christmas) Hera 2781: A Military Short Story.
Thank you to everyone who has been reading my stories in 2015. Your reviews, ratings, personal messages, and just the knowledge that you were reading the stories created a plethora of other high points for me during the year.
I’ve a host of plans for 2016. Top of the list is not to break any bones, but
a lot of book related things should be happening too. You can sign up here if you’d like to get email updates when I release something new, as well as get advance information on what’s happening next.
This year starts with a new free story on my website, featuring Lecturer Playdon just before Jarra arrives in his class. I hope you’ll enjoy reading this and other stories from me during 2016. Happy New Year!
