My background: Originally I trained as a theoretical physicist. But in the early nineties I got interested in the biological sciences. This led to the idea of writing a techno-thriller in the style of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy.

I began writing Ninth Day of Creation early in 1995 and then attempted to shop the finished book around to literary agents throughout 1998. But at 662 pages the manuscript was considered too long for a first time novelist and I was forced to self-publish before abandoning the prospect of becoming a professional writer.

Little marketed and largely unread, Ninth Day of Creation eventually went out of print. However in 2021 I republished it.

Will I ever return to writing? It's not out of the question, but I have no plans for the immediate future.
