Plutonic Rainbows

Kindle & Apple Books

A few people have asked about my books since I migrated from Squarespace and lost those landing pages. Squarespace is a great service but too expensive for me. At the moment, I publish on two platforms, Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.

Inexact Shadows

On a remote island, scientists have made a fantastic discovery. A technology thought impossible. Sabotage investigator John Miller is brought in when the labs are destroyed and something stolen. He is joined by Peter Williams, a soon to retire MI5 agent. As part of an unlikely group, together they must solve what has happened. Their discoveries trigger a whole chain of unwelcome events both past and present.

The Wind Took Your Answer Away

A collection of ten short stories. A tour through time and space. Enter a strange past with stories that almost could be or might have been - A post office hides an unwelcome secret; a world where words are cyclical; cherry blossoms that herald something unspeakable and a boy who finds beauty among the tidal pools.

I am currently working on a third book published sometime late 2019 or sometime in 2020.

Apple investors urge action on smartphone addiction

BBC picks up on the story of Apple investors calling for limits on how long children can use their smartphones.

Jana Partners and the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) called on Apple to consider the impact excessive use of smartphones had on the mental health of young people. The two are worried that if Apple does not address growing concerns about smartphone use, its stock market value and general reputation could become damaged.

According to a Reuters report, half of US teenagers believe they are addicted to their mobile phones and feel the need to respond immediately to messages.
