Bio
Hi, I'm an award-winning science-fiction and fantasy author based in the north-east of England. I have two children’s books published by Andersen Press in the UK called Sorrowline and Timesmith, and a YA novel called Altitude published by Magic Number Books.I'm currently working on a science-fiction series for adults which I hope will be out towards the end of 2017.

Love the concept of this powerful storyline!
Niel Bushnell's Arkship Obsidian is, plain and simple, THE mother of all start-out-in-the-burning-building tales. It's the kind of read that's so immediately engrossing that the reader risks failing to notice if a stampede of T-rexes is approaching in real life. The reader is TOLD nothing, but EXPERIENCES everything. Truly magnificent writing!
