(? - ) UK organizer of the pro-diversity Impact of Omission organization, and author whose first novel, The Principle of Moments (2024), is a very wide-ranging Space Opera set in venues openly evocative of earlier models, including the Star Wars franchise and the work of N K Jemisin. In the Galactic Empire which dominates the terrain, humans are subaltern; Time Travel interlineates conjoined tales, complexly enough to convey some sense that a Multiverse has been opening its portals. Most of the action takes place in an Alternate History version of 1812 London, and on a Prison planet millennia hence, the Gender-fluid "Heroes" who interpenetrate each others' worlds evoking Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion. God-like figures from the deep past (see Time Abyss) may reincarnate themselves with a vengeance in projected future volumes. Doctor Who: The Church on Ruby Road (2024), novelizes an adventure of the Fifteenth Doctor. [JC]
