My interest is in SF and I have recently read Wool by Hugh Howie, The Disestablishment of Paradise by Phillip Mann and 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson. I plan to tackle John Carter of Mars: The Collection by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
I have written an ebook novel of my own titled Killer Minds which I have uploaded to Amazon and Smashwords. This involves Simon Carlisle, a police Technical Support Officer, who is called to the scene of a violent death in a world where this is an extreme rarity. The population has cranial implants from birth that prevent them from committing violent acts. He is hiding a secret of his own - He has mental control over his implant. In this near future story, on one October night he is called out to examine the body of a young woman who has been stabbed to death and left on the street. It should be near impossible for this to have happened.
