I live in Bath, England, a small city that traces its heritage back to Roman times-their hot spring baths can be visited in the city centre. It's a beautiful and much visited city. I count myself lucky to live here. When I’m not writing, I’m cycling. With the Mendips to the south and the Cotswolds to the north, I spend much of my time on my bike struggling up hills before all too brief periods of descent. Aside from that, I like to play games. Board games, computer games, card games. Any game really. Having being brought up on 8 bit pixel games, I find it incredible to spend time in VR with a friend killing zombies or playing golf,  running around fully realised fantasy worlds, or taking a Dash 8 across Norway in a simulator. I studied Physics with Applied Physics at Bath University. Many years later, when I decided my writing needed a hand, I did a Master of Arts Degree in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. My work to date is a satirical fantasy trilogy, The Dark Lord's Handbook, and Artificial Intelligence Awakening. The Dark Lord’s Handbook series sprung from the idea that even a Dark Lord has a mum and the nature of original sin — is anyone born completely evil? The trilogy is complete now and I have moved on to my other love after fantasy: science fiction. Artificial Intelligence Awakening shares common DNA with the Dark Lord's Handbook in not following standard tropes. While I much admire and enjoy stories of man against machine, I have taken a different tack. There are great challenges ahead of us as the world changes driven by the ever quickening pace of technology. I hope this book contributes to the conversations we need to have when dealing with these challenges. For readers of The Dark Lord's Handbook, Artificial Intelligence Awakening, while not lacking humour in places, is a more serious work.
