I wrote my own Dr Who stories on an old typewriter in my bedroom, and after Star Wars came out (I was nine) more fan fiction and occasional scripts for friends to act out followed. My first glimpse of the Daleks from behind the sofa pulled me into new worlds, and I never left. One of my biggest challenges is making sure that the future technology I invent doesn't find its way into reports for real live clients - but the future is getting closer all the time.Īs for inspirations, I've been embedded in scifi since childhood. Cameron Silvera and the Argentum Associates team burst into life and the whole process of writing fiction has become a real joy. When I was asked to co-author a cybersecurity book in 2016, a friend suggested that it might be less dry as fiction. My first books were non-fiction (if you're into blockchain and cryptocurrency, check out Blockchain Hurricane and other titles under Kate R Baucherel). The answer? The SimCavalier near future thrillers, and a growing catalogue of short stories that include the odd SimCavalier prequel, some standalone tales, and the adventures of Finch, a naive young avian on a rite of passage round-the-galaxy trip. What do you get when you cross a scifi geek with an emerging technology consultant?
