INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q - So, tell us about this series. Why did you write it? Why is it special?
A - There's a saying, somewhere, that if the book you want to read hasn't been written, you must write it. So I wrote it for me. A lot of it is a homage to the things I love: StarWars, Adams, Pratchett, Dr Who, StarTrek.
Hopefully, anyone reading will like the same things as I do: the world building, the characterisation, what, I hope, is pithy, witty dialogue (or dialog) and of course, characters who are flawed and stuff up, and are not beautiful, misfits, ne'r do wells etc. There's not one skinny woman in a leather jumpsuit anywhere in this series. I like writing characters who have zero combat skills, putting them in a situation where they could really do with knowing how to fight and seeing how they cope with nothing but their wits - I'm mean like that. I love a dystopian setting too and of course, any book I like has to do some serious genre mashing ... Science fantasy anyone? Oh and of course the snurds. You've gotta love a flying car, right?
