<p> Tales from the Triverse is part detective drama, part fantasy adventure and part space opera. I'm influenced by the likes of Iain M Banks, Isaac Asimov and ND Stevenson and work including The Wire and Gotham Central. </p> <p> It begins with an incident two hundred years ago which crashed three parallel universes together. Portals open up in 18th century London, sending England down a very different path. We pick up events in the 1970s, with the Metropolitan Police having established a new department to handle portal-related criminal activity. </p> <p> The story is about intolerance, immigration, multiculturalism and power. It's about what happens when incompatible viewpoints are weaponised to seed discontent, and the efforts of some to create a fairer world. In the tradition of the best science fiction, fantasy and crime fiction, I'm using the setting to examine themes that matter to me in the real world. </p> <p> <strong> Who is it for? </strong> If you like science fiction or fantasy, or a mix of both, this is for you. It's my first foray into crime fiction, but I hope if you're a fan that you'll enjoy yourself - especially if you're looking for something a bit different. </p> <p> I write fiction that is optimistic, progressive and empathetic. Bad things can happen to good people in the stories, but the overall arc tends to be hopeful. </p> <p> Note that if it were a movie, Tales from the Triverse would be a 15 certificate in the UK. </p>
