I’m a former teacher from London, juggling my time between raising my three kids, caring for my disabled son, and writing in every spare moment of time I find. A lifelong SFF fan, I’ve written several fantasy and sci-fi novels.
I’m currently querying my most recent novel: The Last Sky.
Twelve years ago, Isaac Rhodes avenged his son’s death by killing the ‘gods’, enabling the oppressive Authority to seize control. Now, he numbs his grief with alcohol, hiding from their relentless AI enforcers. But his solitary life shatters when he impulsively rescues Skye, a mute nine-year-old girl with an inhuman aptitude for learning.
When elite operatives hunt her down, Isaac is plunged into a galaxy-spanning struggle against the Authority, burdened with a new co-pilot who attracts nothing but trouble. After an accidental reunion with his ex-wife and former crew leads to the destruction of their ship, they coerce Isaac into completing their dissident mission. Only one catch—their plan to infiltrate the Authority’s AI network feels a lot like suicide.
Isaac’s hands are full, juggling his spiralling alcoholism, a crew who loathe him, and a deep need to atone for his past, while everyone in the galaxy seems to be shooting at him. Then there’s Skye, whose transformation blurs the line between human and AI. Her emerging god-like powers have the potential to turn her into the Authority’s ultimate weapon. Protecting her offers Isaac one last shot at redemption—and, just maybe, a chance to be a father again.
