\nI have always had a love of science fiction. I remember as a young boy I would be so excited as I sat crossed legged watching Star Trek on our old black and white TV . Soon after I saw Star Wars at the cinema and my school friends thought I was crazy because I had seen the film three times. “You went to see the same film three times? Are you mad?”\nI also have a great love of reading science fiction. My favourite authors being Peter F Hamilton and Iain M Banks. I also have read many other authors work including Robert Heinlein, Orson Scott Card, Isaac Asimov and Kevin J Anderson.\nPart of my love of science fiction stems from the fact that anything can happen. In fiction the narrative is limited to the real world and must adhere to what is possible in reality. In science fiction we can have time travel, aliens, other planets, other dimensions and in fact anything we can imagine.\n \nIt is here I find an amazing opportunity where I can let my imagination flow and create worlds, characters and events that are not limited. In this space I can revel in the infinite possibilities.\n
