Right, that's the first book out of the way. Yes, I’m now a Sunday Times Best Selling Author, but it’s time to stop giggling about that and ask a very, very important question.

What's next?



Sure, I could focus on another one of my hobbies (Fuck Yeah, Philately anyone?), but now my foot is in the door, I need to remember why I wanted to get into this room in the first place. I need something... fiction-y, a story, some sort of... damn, the word escapes me for now but rest assured, this is a novel idea.



So, introducing my next book: The Paradox Paradox



The Paradox Paradox is a dark sci-fi comedy set hundreds of years in the future. Also, a fair few times in the past. Oh, and a little bit right now... did I mention that it's about time travel yet? You got that from the title? Ok, just checking.



In 500 or so years the galaxy is at peace. Eight species – one of them human, the rest very much not – have spent centuries working, living and learning together, creating a galaxy-wide utopia known as The Affinity. Poverty has been eradicated, violence is virtually non-existent, and nobody even takes the last biscuit anymore. Not even if it’s a hobnob.



We join this universe as The Affinity launch their greatest project yet. A time machine, created to explore, experience and preserve the history of the eight races. Kez, our hero, is tasked with leading these delicate expeditions to Earth’s past, where one wrong move could wipe out the entire human race. It’s a tough job, but Kez is unmatched in intelligence, experience and achievements. She’s the right woman for this job.

With so much at stake, it's a real pity that Kez cheated on her exams, lied about everything she’s ever done and is about as trustworthy as a sign in a spider’s web that reads, “flies welcome”. She would totally take the last biscuit, hobnob or not.

Long story short, we’re all doomed.

A bit Star Trek, a bit Doctor Who and a bit fucked up, The Paradox Paradox is the sci-fi story I’ve always wanted to tell. My words will once again be brought to life by a light peppering of illustrations from my partner-in-everything, Rebecca Maughan, and we’ll have lots of silly backer tiers for you to regret buying at a later date.

The story is locked and I’m now writing it as fast as I can. Well, I’m binge-watching Bob’s Burgers, but after that I’ll be all over it! Estimated release will be sometime in 2021 and it’ll probably be worth the wait!

Enough words! Go grease the wheels of capitalism!
