This is where a small collection of my works can be found, on here – ready to read.
The Titan Mystery
When the Tycho encounters a ship adrift which seems to have come from the future, Commander McKinley is forced to lead his crew to find out what it’s all about. Or face being trapped forever.
The great GALACTIC service station
Ralph has no idea why three strangers are asking him where the service station in his back yard is.
When they take him and his ketchup stained shirt he’s forced on an adventure he could never have imagined.
It’s just that no one remembered the sausage rolls.

I have taken part in a number of Blog Battles – read them all!
The Titan Mystery – The Conclusion
Though the darkness of deep space a lone spacecraft moved slowly towards a rippling tear of energy in space. The Atlas, the ship sent to rescue the Tycho and it’s crew moved towards its reported position. “We’ve not been able to pick up the Tycho on sensors Captain and they should be here!” Captain WilliamContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – The Conclusion”
The Titan Mystery – Part 16
The seconds passes and on the Tycho not a word was said, everyone held their breath. Then in a dizzying flash the core detonated. The screen went blank for a moment as all the visual sensors were over loaded. McKinley turned to Neila. “Now would be a good time!” Neila was already on it, theContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 16”
The Titan Mystery – Part 15
Tranquility lifted slowly from the landing deck, the extra weight of the mechanoids making the thruster motors strain under the weight. In a few seconds the vessel had lifted and pushed itself gently through the opening out into space. “We nearly didn’t make that!” Collins complained. “We’re too heavy! What’s that robot doing on top?”Continue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 15”
The Titan Mystery – Part 14
The trip back through the hyperloop to the station nearest to Tranquility seemed to McKinley to have taken and age. The door opened to the capsule and they all started to dismount, the mechanoids first then Blake and his Marines following with everyone else after. “You and you team keep a look out, I haveContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 14”
The Titan Mystery – Part 13
McKinley was nearing exhaustion with Dave, he had tried to convince him that focusing the sighting portal on the time and place that Seanna was killed was the right thing to do and it was useless. He was a machine and he had his in built programs give him his ethics. Dave was in controlContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 13”
The Titan Mystery – Part 12
McKinley and the others had nowhere to go, they all stood around the capsule with their weapons raised and ready to attack. Even with Blake and his Marines there would be no hope of surviving their assault. McKinley looked across at Blake. “This is going to be tricky one to get out of!” Blake scoffed inContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 12”
The Titan Mystery – Part 11
McKinley couldn’t move – he wasn’t sure what stunned him most, whatever it was that had knocked him to the floor or that Seanna was just… gone. Standing there, looking at where she had last stood, motionless. He was vaguely aware of others around him, of people. But it somehow didn’t matter now. “Sir!” BlakeContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 11”
The Titan Mystery – Part 10
McKinley stared ahead at the tunnel ahead of him, racing past as once again he was travelling in another of what seemed like many hyperloop conduits. It had been a hard choice to split the team up, but it seemed the best and safest option. Seanna was taking charge of the science and technical teams backContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 10”
The Titan Mystery – Part 9
McKinley stood in front of the strange being, wondering what was going to come next. instead it seemed pre-occupied. “How can we help you?” McKinley prompted him, hoping to get some idea or clue to what was going on. “Help… yes, McKinley. I’m sorry, the problem I have in concentrating is part of what isContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 9”
The Titan Mystery – Part 8
McKinley looked on through the tunnel as their little hyperloop car sped through the vastness of the spacecraft. As he was thinking about this he thought it curious that a ship this size was built almost completely empty. What was it’s purpose? Why was it here? There would have to have been crew and manyContinue reading “The Titan Mystery – Part 8”
The Great Galactic Service Station – The Conclusion
After a few weeks of aliens coming in and out of the station it was like the Great Galactic Service Station had always been there. Ralph had become acquainted with a vast number of alien life forms and he had also managed to keep the ketchup off his uniform. The galactic emperor had drafted inContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – The Conclusion”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 15
One thing that is universally accepted as being a source of irritation to a race of beings is to rack up one day with a huge space station and star sucking energy out of the core of their home planet. It usually leads to a fairly nasty and bloody battle, well usually is an understatementContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 15”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 14
Annoying and irritating customers are a universal constant. This happens a lot when life forms become hungry and irritated. What do do about this has caused problems for food establishment owners and managers for all of time. Back on Earth in the time of primates a meaty joint would often result in the death ofContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 14”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 13
The assembled crew of motley beings from over the galaxy watched as the timer counted down, a computerised female voice counting down with it, at about seventy the voice was getting out of sync with the numbers, then the segments for the numbers started taking a like of their own. Finally the voice announced. “OhContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 13”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 12
The ground shook under all of them, like an earthquake the shaking grew. Even the fighting cronies stopped their scrapping and stood, waiting for whatever was going to happen next. The ground shook so severely that all but a few were knocked to ground. A huge crack opened into the ground, some of the fewContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 12”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 11
Miranda, Gaz and Ralph froze. They all recognised the voice behind them and yet they couldn’t quite believe it. “Boris?” Ralph asked. The three of them turned to face the scruffy bafoon. “Nice one!” Miranda scoffed in a particularly unimpressed tone. “Harry take that thing off!” “What do you mean?” Boris retorted “I’m no skinnyContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 11”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 10
It is a universally accepted idea that ideas change the world er – Galaxy. The nature of the idea depends on how things change. At the time the intention is irrelevant, history decided if it was good or bad. It also depends on which side you were on and if you won or lost. ThisContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 10”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 9
“Why have you brought us out here?” Ralph cried, pushing his finger through his hair and gripping it in frustration? “We have to go about two hundred miles and you’ve brought us probably two hundred light years!” “How did you know that?” Harry asked surprised. “Maybe you’re better at space travel than we thought!” “OhContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 9”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 8
It has been generally accepted in the galaxy that fighting in space is a fairly pointless activity and very little is gained from it. The great Nargan battle that took place a centuries ago between the two races from the Algol binary star demonstrates this very nicely. The race from the smaller star were ratherContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 8”
The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 7
It had to be said that Harry’s Boris suit looked like it would fool his mother. This was a terrifying thought so they agreed to leave it there. Boris had been no trouble at all, once Miranda had zapped him, Gaz had jumped on his back and was hitting him across the head. Then bothContinue reading “The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 7”

Science in Sci-Fi – Time Travel
Science fiction is as the name suggests the fiction of science. I thought it would be a fun, interesting and at times mind bending idea too look at the science behind some of the technology in science fiction and look under the hood to see what’s required to make it work or what barriers areContinue reading “Science in Sci-Fi – Time Travel”
