For a short period only FUTURE DAYS is available on Kindle for the crazeee price of 99p (or, if you still haven’t got over that independence for the empire tantrum, $0.99!!!) Featuring My novelette ‘The Pink Starship Switch, set in my ‘feral-verse’ (Ooh, that’s a good name for it. Have to remember that…)
Read more "Sci-Fi Anthology for just 0.99p/$0.99!!!"It’s a busy time here at Worrad Towers. Today be the day this here anthology of bad-ass sci-fi tales is released, including my story (technically a novelette) ‘The Pink Starship Switch’. It’s a pleasure and an honour to have ‘Pink’ wedged between so many wonderful stories. Check it out!!!
Read more "Future Days Anthology, Castrum Press"Anyone playing a modern James Bond, by my reckoning, not only has to look suave but also has to look like they could beat me- a 6ft man- to death armed merely with a walnut in a sock. Daniel Craig defined that quality in Bond. Idris Elba evokes it too.
Read moreThere’s been a lot of heated debate in the SFF community of late (Shocking I know) but I’m gonna put it out there, lay it down and damn the twitter-torpedoes: it’s all hand-wavey, glittery, flib-flab hoohah. We all know it. But we’re too scared to say it. The REAL issues, issues that have been chaffing […]
Read more "Tweet Your Brains: Shiver Me Bus Pass"Here’s the lovely cover for Future Days, an SF anthology from Castrum Press. Nice, ain’t it? I think it’s got a rather hopeful vibe.

Read more "My Story In Future Days Anthology"Just seen the cover of the next book in me SF series. Oh my. (Don’t think I can say any more just yet)
Read more "Oh my"“Only went and did some James Worrad fanart didn’t I?” -Erika Price Thanks Erika! I don’t deserve it. As you can see it’s already gone to my giant floaty head of doom. (Side note: seems to be inspired by the picture below…)
Read more "Blowing Minds For Fun and Profit"Found this fellow in the corridor at work. The funny thing is, I found an empty tumbler and a menu on the floor in the same corridor an hour earlier. I’d no bloody clue why at the time. Clearly, one of the hotel guests had attempted to capture our friend here but had given up. […]
Read more "My Prince Has Come"“About time! I’ve been trying to make you read it these last twenty years!” So texted my pal Matt when I mentioned I’d started reading Red Army by Ralph Peters. It was he who’d sent me a copy. I’d mentioned I needed to engage with military (science) fiction in order to better handle my next […]
Read more "Elegy For A War That Never Was: Red Army by Ralph Peters"You can respect the Alien as a surviving animal and you can respect the Predator for its honour bound culture. But there’s no respecting the Thing. It clearly delights in tricking, terrifying and physically humiliating its victims and in turning its prey against one another. Look at that bit where it makes that guy’s head […]
