An omission

It struck me recently that I haven’t included an Author Bio in either of the books, so I thought I’d draft some up for when (if) I’m ever feeling strong enough to dive back into CreateSpace and produce ‘Second Editions’ of them. Anyway, until I do, here they are:

The Stealer of Worlds
Richard spent a whole year of his childhood as an eleven year old boy, going to school, being quite good at Maths and English, and not particularly good at P.E. He also probably spent too much of that year playing computer games. Some of those experiences actually proved useful research, and have made it into The Stealer of Worlds, while others (mostly the playing computer games) didn’t. Even more are completely made up.

And he’s reasonably sure that everyone else didn’t disappear at any time when he was eleven, but he can’t be certain…

Displacement
During the writing of Displacement, Richard did actually work in an Investment Bank, where he learned a lot about high finance and low base rates. While the vast majority of Rebecca’s experiences in her particular bank are ficticious, at least one line of dialogue is a direct quote Richard heard during his stint in the City. A trip to India provided two of the more memorable scenes also within the book, one of which now takes place somewhere else completely.

The stuff about teleportation is made up however.
