We have a title!
We also have a blurb, and anything in the blurb is fair game for social media. So here is Kai*:
Kai (no pronouns) is the drummer in a small-town blues band. In two weeks the band tours Germany, with a recording studio booked for their return. Then their singer quits…
TEARDOWN - published by Ninestar Press in winter 2024 - is the story of what happens next.
* Kai isn't really a Lego person, but Lego figures do avoid questions of race and gender, which is very convenient.
William lives in a small Buckinghamshire village in England. By
night he writes speculative, historical, crime and other fiction.
His debut novel, EXPIRATION DAY, was published by Tor Teen in 2014
and won the 2015 Hal Clement Award for better than half-decent
science in a YA novel—the citation actually says
"Excellence in Children's Science Fiction Literature".
His short fiction has appeared in DreamForge, Metastellar, Abyss
& Apex and other outlets.
By day he writes software for a living and in the twilight he
sings tenor, plays guitar and writes songs.
