My forthcoming novel JITTERBUG is about characters who've been dealt rough hands in their lives, and how each of them has adapted to survive. It's also about how great historical events, maybe even the survival of humanity, can hinge on the actions of a handful of people caught at the epicentre.

FUTURE’S EDGE came out in February this year from @titanbooks.bsky.social and I really think it’s one of my best novels. Read it for complex human relationships, terrifyingly otherworldly aliens, and weaponised archaeologists.
