1. Please introduce yourself (who are you, what genre/s do you write in, what books do you have out)Hi there, my name’s Alan and I write sci-fi in a variety of subgenres. My current titles are all in my Augment Saga universe. There’s The Re-Emergence, which is a space opera and prequel novella. Then there’s From the Grave of the Gods, which is the first full-length novel in the series and is a contemporary/near-future hard sci-fi.
2. What are your favourite books?
I absolutely love the books of The Shadeward Saga by Drew Wagar, they’re a masterful blend of sci-fi and fantasy in a style that’s been likened to Anne McCaffrey. Fantastic concept and characters, and the whole thing runs very high emotionally. I could not recommend them enough! More recently, I have found a great love for Ursula K. Le Guin’s work as well, and A Wizard of Earthsea I think tops the list for me in an immense body of work. I also really enjoyed Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. So I think those really represent my top three.
