 Running Out of Space, the first book in The Sunblinded trilogy, is to be published by Cyberwizard Publishing sometime this year, so Chapter 1 is now on the site. Why not take a look? I have also finished the first draft of the second book,Dying For Space. and will be starting work on the last book of the trilogy, Breathing Space later on this year, after I've finished my next project, a science fiction book set in future America after civilisation has crashed, with the working title Netless.
