I’m really excited, as today I managed to get Borderliners ‘visible’ in an Amazon category.

Hoorah! Small but significant steps.

An extract from T.S. Eliot’s work ‘The Four Quartets’, which sums up what I want to express in my second book, Split Symmetry, more perfectly than I could:

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.

Just beautiful.

‘At its core, dystopian fiction engages with some of the key cultural, moral, and scientific questions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, many of which we are still asking today: the role of science in the modern world, the moral responsibility we have when developing science and technology, attitudes to euthanasia, humanity’s responsibility for the environment, the distribution of wealth, and the role of religion in a secular society. ‘ Yes! Exactly the topics I look at in my own novel projects, precisely because I find them such important themes to discuss, especially in today’s society.
