MY FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEL
DISCOVATRON
A peace-loving intergalactic space ship crew are off on a mission to find a new world upon which to live. As they journey through time and space, they explore numerous planets, but due to incompetent planning, bungling, or just sheer bad luck they end up disappointed in their quest.
In some cases they inadvertently cause some serious inter-planetary incidents.
The hapless crew are coming towards the end of their mission when they visit a strange, blue/green planet in Galaxy Six. This planet succumbs to the grip of a deadly pandemic, but only the crew know the true story* about the origin of the disease.
Can they battle unfriendly life-forms, dodge hazards in space, beat their sister ship, overlook hackneyed alien clichés and be the crew that finds a new planet to call home?
*It might be the truth. Who knows for sure?
NOVEL NOW ARRIVING AT PLATFORM 0
The 16:04 to Vengeance
A story of hatred, revenge, obsession, desire, tea-drinking and attempted murder.
A person who believes they have been seriously wronged, by the regional train company and one train guard in particular, sets out on a campaign to wreak vengeance, costing thousands of pounds.
Their first attempts to destroy the guard end in failure, driving them to the edge of madness, until their fixated quest for retribution reaches murderous levels.
Oblivious at first to the growing menace, the amusingly flawed characters at the train depot begin to realise the danger that awaits, each time they venture out to work.
Much blood flows but no tea is spilled.
Warning:
Content includes sexual activity, violence and suicidal thoughts.
FUTURE RELEASE
DELIVATRON
The DISCOVATRON has been mothballed, after many years of service, replaced by newer space-ships.
While the Kaian space exploration programme continues apace, the poor old ship lies rotting away on a piece of wasteland until she is bought by a somewhat shady entrepreneur and brought back into service as an intergalactic tourist ship.
More adventures await the crew and the passengers as they visit a distant planet in Galaxy Sector Six and find it suddenly and mysteriously uninhabited.
Can the crew find out what happened to the missing inhabitants of the deserted planet, and somehow find a way to get them all home?
ONGOING PROJECT
TRAINS, BUSES AND.....
A collection of short public transport based horror stories.
This is still in very early stages and needs a lot more effort before it reaches any kind of publishability.
So far it's slow progress, in fact painfully slow, like pulling teeth..... which gives me an idea for another short story!
