Development Hell:
The following works are currently being dragged kicking and screaming into the world.
glorious
A novel adaptation of my sci fi, Gothic horror screenplay. It will be the second 'Fomalhaut' universe novel but rather then being a direct sequel it will be a parallel story set slightly further into the future.
World War A
Still not a direct sequel to theFomalhautPlague, this will be a prequel detailing how the human race almost ended at the hands of an unknown alien race. Set slightly in our future it will feature an unusual, non-sequential narrative set around a protagonist dealing with his own demons.
theFomalhautContagion
Set immediately after the end of the theFomalhautPlague, this novel will answer some of the burning questions from the first book before blowing the story wide open to a literally interstellar scale. This is book two of the Fomalhaut Trilogy.
Unnamed First World War Naval Drama
My first none genre long form work, I have been toying with this real-life drama since the 90's. I can't say too much about it as I can't believe that no one else has yet told this hidden story. This may initially be a screenplay before translating to a novel.
Ratslips
Unfinished novel from pre-university days. It was originally envisaged as a collaboration with a friend in which we'd write alternative chapters, each working on a different set of characters who only come together at the end. I finished my half but I'm still waiting for his chapters. Will rework into a Fomalhaut universe novel.
This one partially exists, so you can read an excerpt here.

"Ethnomethodology" Novel
A novel based on the "Ethnomethodology" and the "We Love The Legacy" short stories. It expands the back story, adds a new faction of humans into the mix, then propels the narrative to an explosive ending. In the novel we’ll see just how far the human race has ‘evolved’ (post singularity) and how God-like and powerful they have become. This is a Fomalhaut universe novel set slightly in the future of the Fomalhaut Trilogy.
"All In The Mind" Novel
A novel based on the "All In The Mind" short story. It expands story but adds a completely new ending. This is a Fomalhaut universe novel set slightly in the Fomalhaut Trilogy past, somewhere between "World War A" and the original "The Fomalhaut Plague" novel. It fills out the history of this period and ties in with the history of "Ratslips".
The Fomalhaut Vaccine
The third Fomalhaut Trilogy novel set after the events of the theFomalhautContagion. I cannot tell you too much about this as it will give too much away about the second book in the trilogy, except to say that this will complete the trilogy and wrap up all of the loose ends.
A Dick from "Death Ship" Novel: Live Until I Die
A novel based on the misadventures of the Space Marine Dick from the short story "Death Ship". This will be an action adventure comedy poking gently fun at the tired clichés of science fiction. Unusually, this may not be a Fomalhaut universe novel.
