About the author

James C Rocks

<p>I am a happily married Brit with two daughters living in the south of England.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>I&#8217;ve been reading science fiction since I was thirteen and it was from it that my love of science sprang. Science fiction is mind-expanding stuff and led to my degree in biology, a career in science and an eventual shift to computing. Science fiction made me a geek, a geek who loves to read, to write, to watch movies and experience science fiction any way I can. I&#8217;ve created and managed science fiction websites almost since the internet began (yes, I&#8217;m that old), starting with gaming guides and later recognising their potential for role play and storytelling, fiction based on and around gaming universes.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>I write as time allows, between local work, chores and so on and &#8220;Stars, Hide Your Fires&#8221; is the first fruit of my labours, the first of two books of &#8220;The Abyssal Void War&#8221;. There is a long way to go, but I&#8217;ve written a lot of the second book. I am also involved in a second, joint project based on H. G. Wells, &#8220;The War of the Worlds&#8221;.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>I hope you enjoy this book and, if you have criticisms, please, can I ask you to let me know? You can contact me via my website.</p>
