Excited to see the universe growing. Really glad it's in a shared cosmos.

I know I already said on twitter but I love this cover. It would stand out to me in a bookshop that's for sure

Thank you. :)

I wanted a cover that fit thematically with the title, offered a simple clean design, and created an element of mystery to draw the eye.

Diving into a shared cosmos really freed up my creative energies. I feel like it gives events and characters in each story a broader meaning and impact beyond their own book.

I'm excited to see what readers think once Hollow Planet is published. One of my beta readers said the ending shocked them. Didn't see it coming.

I want to read your other stories too. How much do they overlap? Or are they completely separate?

Every story I write works well on its own as a standalone story. The Alien People Chronicles trilogy has a few plot threads that go through all three books but each book's main plot has a definitive resolution. I made a conscious decision to make sure each story feels complete, even while inhabiting a shared universe. I loathe stories that end on a cliffhanger designed to make you buy the next book in the series.
