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 of … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 14
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. "Oh … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 13
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 few … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 12
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 skinny … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 11
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. This … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 10
Kate M Colby has created the Parallel Magic podcast, so for all of those into Scifi and dark fantasy reading this is something you should look into!

If you read my January update or follow me on social media, you’ve probably caught the unofficial announcements… but now, I’m pleased to officially introduce Parallel Magic: The Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Show.
In this podcast, Jonas Lee (my friend and fellow author) and I discuss science fiction and fantasy novels over a drink. We started the show to create a virtual book club, where sci-fi/fantasy readers from around the world could chat about the books we love while enjoying the simple camaraderie of a drink (alcohol optional, of course!).
Thus far, we’ve aired two episodes. The first dives into Scythe by Neal Shusterman, along with all the existential crises a book about (im)mortality can bring. The second episode, which aired today, covers Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, as well as my first embarrassing Champagne pop, epic space battles, and the book’s brain-blowing (and not-so-brain-blowing twists).
Interested?

"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!" "Oh … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 9
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 rather … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 8
I don't know about you but I always love to get books in my favourite genre. Especially those not heard of before. Ajay from the new story angles it can help give a new angle to your writing. Imagine my delight when discoverscifi popped up on my Facebook and I got 10 few ebooks for the price … Continue reading Don’t miss out on free sci-fi e-books!
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 both … Continue reading The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 7
