I finally have a release time-frame for my first sci-fi novel, Inquisitor, June 2015!

This novel has been a fun side project for me while I work on the Sorcery Ascendant Sequence, and has taken two years from conception to completion – even if it’s only 76,000 words (250 pages). Audible will also be releasing an audiobook version asap, for those readers who prefer audio format.

If you like sci-fi then please check it out, and add it to your “to read” list!

Inquisitor – Goodreads

Description:
To Inquisitor Angel Xia, it was just another corporate killing on a backwater planet. But as the bodies begin to pile up and she finds herself a target, she realizes she’s stepped on one toe too many.

Barely escaping attempts on her life by powerful agents with seemingly limitless reach and influence, Angel senses even her co-Inquisitors can’t be trusted. But as the web tightens, she receives a cryptic message from a computer program claiming to be a little girl in desperate need of her help. She insists she’s being held prisoner by a major corporation, but is this just a trap to silence Angel… permanently?

Now a fugitive with her life inextricably linked to the girl in the program, Angel is taken to extremes she never knew she was capable of, and to forgotten places at the edges of known space that hold the darkest secrets of humanity, and the greatest threat to its future.

I’m excited to announce I’ve just signed a deal with Audible to produce audiobooks of a new sci-fi novel, titled Ex Machina, I’ve been working on! Audible have been fantastic to work with on the Sorcery Ascendant Sequence series, and I’m sure they’ll produce another exceptional book for readers who love science fiction to listen to.

At this stage it looks like I’ll self publish this book, so that means more revisions and editing before it’s ready. I’ll provide updates as to when the book will be released (in ebook, print and audio formats) but I hope it’s only a few months away. In the meantime, here’s my current blurb/description for Ex Machina:
