I stopped traveling for a software/hardware company and took up residence in California, where I've been writing full time for a good 18 months. See www.JohnHindmarsh.com - subscribe to my newsletter.

Progress and releases include -

Thrillers - 
Mark One - 2013 [Amazon - to be released on other sites in May/June 2014]. A genetically engineered potential soldier wants to just lead a normal life. He's hunted by killers and survives. 
Mark Two, the second book in the series, is due for release in the first week of May. A fast-paced thriller following on from Mark One. Expect Mark Three, late 2014. 

Anthology. One of my short stories is in Indie Zoo Sci-Fi/Fantasy Anthology, due for release on May 31. [It’s a creepy SF story]. The editors’ comment was “Your story stood out amid a sea of worthy competition, so you should be very proud.”

http://www.fogland.net/. Fogland is a town – we don’t know where it’s located -  hidden by fog 200 days a year. It’s an interesting concept that gives exposure to writers, for short stories set in Fogland. The editor or the writer records an audio of each short story which is then available from the site [free], and the short story is also available as an ebook from the usual outlets [Amazon, etc]. I submitted one of my stories – the editor’s comments – “A great story, a pleasure to read, and I'm looking forward to recording it.” An Accident on Church Street is on the site marked as ‘Coming soon’ – so the audio should be there in May sometime. 

Another Universe [Volume One] is a collection of my short stories. Watch for Volume Two, later this year.

I've written two science fiction novels and I'm working on my third [Fracture Lines] - which I plan to release on Watt Pad - if I get readers/follo. [Generally space opera, adventure]

Broken Glass - Book one of a proposed trilogy. Fracture Lines - book two -  is my current work in progress. 

Shen Ark: Departure - published 2013. [Amazon]. I'd love to write more stories in this universe.
