How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I think the scope for imagination, in this genre, is virtually unlimited. Almost anything goes.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Give it your best shot. Work hard, take breaks when you need it. Don’t be obsessed with word counts. Prepare to do the hard yards when it comes to the marketing side of things (espec if self published). Have a system to jot all those good ideas down when they come to you. Have regard to constructive criticism, try not to let destructive criticism bother you. Never argue with a poor book review just go out and get some good ones. Be resilient through the hard times.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A long time interest in speculative fiction – especially science fiction, science fantasy, and alternate history. A deep desire to put my ideas, characters, story lines on paper and have others read this.
About the Author:
I’ve written more than 120 speculative fiction short stories in the 7 years I have been writing speculative fiction. Some of these have been published in the six collections of short stories and two novellas I have written all of which are on Amazon. Currently I am working on another collection of short speculative fiction stories for publication later this year.
I have been a regular contributor to both the Antipodean SF and the Beam Me Up Pod cast sites and have also been published on a variety of other sci-fi sites such as Bewildering Stories, 365 Tomorrows, and Farther Stars Than These.
I have written two story arcs: the 12 part Alien Hunter series for the then Golden Visions magazine (in 2011/12) (which was the basis for my subsequent Alien Hunter, Star Trooper novella) and the Trathh story arc for the Beam Me Up Pod Cast site (in 2012/13). Currently I’m writing a Human Hunter story arc also for the Beam Me Up Pod Cast site.
