Welcome back to the Fantasy Book Critic. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself, and your upcoming series, Odyssey Earth? Thanks so much for inviting me – it’s a real pleasure, especially as I get to talk about writing and books, two of my favourite things! I’m a debut SciFi author, but a long-time writer in another genre – maybe ‘veteran’ is actually the word, seeing as I published my first book in the, erm, 20 th century…and not even in the very late-90s, let’s put it that way.
