Watching the Brazil v Japan.

Fun fact,Theo Newton Destiny, has Japan as one of the main locations; specifically Tokyo where Theo smashes the boundaries of human ability

The Japan setting continues in book 2 where I introduce the Kobayashi family who have a dog called Maru

Human history entirely wrong & our dominion is about to be challenged.

But nothing is as it seems.
Who is telling the truth? and what about that universe destroying wave that is heading this way…
It’s a rollercoaster, strap in.

The problem with space-travel in Science fiction is that space travel in reality is so hard. Is there a plausible solution?
I examine popular methods and propose the solution I use in my own book trilogy.

Authors love to see you sharing their books, by tagging the author, it not only helps them connect with the reader but it serves another useful purpose.

When someone shares a book that was bought for example from Amazon, it allows us to keep track of our author dashboard royalties.

The Theo Newton Trilogy. Almost three years since I started out on storyboarding and the final part of the series is out soon.

I’m pleased with how the final set of covers turned out, the green is very green, but it stands out because of it. Too bold a move?

I’ve requested a print proof! 🙌🏻

The ‘writing’ part of Theo Newton book three has finished.

It’s now a proof read and adjustment.
I do edit as I go, so it hopefully won’t be all that difficult ! 🤞

60k words done & fast approaching the final chapters of the Theo Newton Trilogy.
March 22, 2026 at 5:24 PM
I have just ticked past 50k words written for Theo book 3.
So that’s 10k words in 7 days.

These last few chapters are like a Dan Brown book but instead of Robert Langdon, we have a superhuman, who can jump through time collecting clues…
That’s it for spoilers!
March 16, 2026 at 9:35 PM
How about a little plot spoiler for book 3?

I’ve not long ago finished a scene where Theo & this father avoid being press ganged in eighteenth century Britain.

If you have read book 1 & 2, this is probably making you wonder where the continuation of the story has gone to have such a scene.

Ah! 😉
