I'm a science fiction writer based in Wales. I'm the author of eight novels and many short stories. I've been published
since 1990, although I've been writing stories almost since I could hold a felt-tip. I spent the twelve years leading up to
2004 as a scientist within the European Space Agency, of which about half that time was spent working on S-Cam, the world's
most advanced optical camera. After spending sixteen years in the Netherlands, I returned to my native Wales in 2008.
My first published novel was REVELATION SPACE (2000), which was shortlisted for the BSFA and Arthur C Clarke awards.
My second novel, CHASM CITY, won the BSFA award in 2002. A number of my other novels and stories have subsequently been shortlisted
for the BSFA and Clarke awards. Two independent short story collections, ZIMA BLUE (US) and GALACTIC NORTH (UK) appeared at
the end of 20
An expanded version of the Zima Blue collection appeared in the UK in April 2009, while a third collection, DEEP NAVIGATION,
appeared from NESFA press in early 2010.
My latest novel, TERMINAL WORLD, appeared in March 2010. It's a far future, steampunk-influenced planetary romance
about the adventures of an exiled pathologist, and a city in need of medicine...
Coming in 2011 will be BLUE REMEMBERED EARTH, book 1 of a trilogy called POSEIDON'S CHILDREN. It's a sequence of books
dealing in a fairly rigorous, hard SF-nal way with the expansion of the human species (beginning with an African-dominated
22nd century) into the solar system and beyond, over the next 11,000 years...
