My first novel Pulse is packed with terms, acronyms and jargon that you may not be familiar with.
Because I made most of them up!
Sometimes future-tech jargon can be overwhelming in sci-fi novels.
I did my best to explain some of the terms as I went along.
But that can also make for clunky reading.
To make up for that, here's a list of terms, acronyms, jargon, names — some that made it into the final draft and some that didn't — and some out-take material that may find its way into later Pulse series books!
Some of these names actually became characters in my second book To Right A Wrong which you can start reading for free right here...
On with the list...
