After surviving a brutal war of annihilation against a mysterious and implacable foe, Captain Dylan Cook finds the only solace is at the bottom of a bottle. With his beloved ship, Magpie, sacrificed for the ultimate victory and all his friends either dead or spread out among the Five Systems, he tries to live his life in solitary peace. Until the day an almost literal ghost arrives offering him a new life, a new but familiarly named ship and a crew of misfits and fading memories. When their first job as cargo haulers turns out to be a lot more complicated than they could ever imagine, the crew find themselves in a race to fulfil their obligation while trying to avoid a new war. Only, this time, it won't be a war against faceless enemies, but against old friends and former colleagues. A sci-fi blockbuster in the vein of Firefly/Serenity and The Expanse.

Foston Slacks is dead! Which is going to be a real problem when he finds out. And his murderer? One Clara O' Fortuna Bridger, Foston's erstwhile and largely unwilling travelling companion in the wondrous reaches of time, space and realities. With implacable, unstoppable and strangely missing hunters in, relatively, hot pursuit, Clara must go on the run, unable to use the network of Breaches, that would make it all so much easier, to find the 'Foston before he was Foston'. And if vague instructions and lack of mobility wasn't enough, she has to drag her not-friend Linda around with her. With the whole of reality in peril, again, Clara must act like Foston to save Foston. It's enough to make anyone wish they'd stayed at home in a bridesmaid's outfit and gorgeous shoes. Second sequel to the Wattys Award winning 'Foston Slacks - Time's Flies' in the Still-Not-A-Trilogy.

Wattys 2024 Shortlist and sequel to the Wattys 2021 winning story (Sci-Fi category), "Foston Slacks - Time's Flies". Foston and Clara saved the multiverse, which was great, because Clara was the one that endangered it in the first place. Afterward, Foston left her back in her drab, boring, humdrum, safe life. For all of a few hours. Now he's back, with a new, adorable and cuddly face with news that the multiverse is in danger, which was probably also because of Clara. With time running out, and Time helping out, Clara and Foston must seek out the source of all the trouble. Well, the other source. Travelling through space and time, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new ... wait ... wrong franchise. To save the multiverse, Clara must go to Hell and back (not a euphemism), to a world populated by very familiar people and to a Tibetan monastery two hundred years in the past where both cricket and jazz are invented far too early. Foston and Clara. Together again to save the multiverse. Again. Cover created in Canva, using stock pictures from Pixabay.

In the furthest reaches of the Solar System, brave, if foolhardy, people search the Kuiper Belt for resources the inter-planetary colonies and stations desperately need to survive. It requires people with the strength to spend years away from home, or the desire to make enough to live a comfortable life. On her second rotation among the vastness of space, Samantha Porter finds herself and her crew-mates about to embark on a discovery that could shake the very foundations of belief and culture when they uncover something both wondrous and deadly. In a desperate fight for survival, Samantha must find reserves of courage she never knew existed in order to escape the clutches of an entity beyond imagining. A tense sci-fi thriller novella for ONC 2024, based upon Prompt 76 - "Cap? We need you on the bridge now. AI registers an extensive asteroid field and ... oh my god!".

With the dogged, relentless Thought:Sinister troopers snapping at their heels at every turn, Merci and Tetsuya must navigate the worst, most deprived areas of the Tether in search of new allies and old friends in an attempt to evade capture, or worse, by authorities that will do anything to stop them. From the flashing lights and holo-images of Goodfellow Sector, to the ruins of Trashtown, from the invisible, ephemeral reaches of Thought-Scape, to a long forgotten Sector of the Tether, Merci and Tetsuya race for their lives and the very future of the Tether for both human and bot alike. The third novel in the series that includes Wattys 2021 Shortlister, "Anna In The Garden", and the multiple ambassador profile featured "They Don't Care About Robots, Do They?".
