Steve’s imaginative stories explore a humorous and whimsical future where androids are integral to human life, blending advanced robotics, biotech, and AI with a playful, slightly twisted perspective.
From his home in Dorset, England, he envisions a world where these artificial beings serve as both helpers and companions, leading to emotional and behavioral shifts that are amusing or thought-provoking.

Is it a coincidence that Steve lives in the same village where Douglas Adams gained inspiration for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Perhaps there's something in the water.
The Adventures Continue!
Maggie cared for everyone,
Emma showed a defiantly independent streak,
and,
Rodney learned how to live in a bewildering world of attractive women and violent criminals.
Can Lucky combine all of this experience to make sense of his new body and the reactions of the people around him?
Lucky's a charmer with a roguish sense of humour and an acute sense of the absurd. He's been rescued from his previously worthless life by a road accident and the technological genius of a group of female scientists.
And half the time he doesn't know what to make of it, but his inner being will help him.

Speculative fiction essentially takes what we know now, and projects it into a future or a situation that may occur.
The three components of synthetic, human-like machines are here in 2026: bio-technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence are in their early stages, but progress is rapid.
My stories are set in the near future, some of the characters are androids, and the human characters sometimes struggle in their interactions with these synthetic beings whose only purpose is to serve us.
I explore the human aspect: the characters' desires and needs, the dichotomy of irrational humans dealing with logical artificial intelligence, the intense focus of the synthetic beings, and the humour of the situations.
My timeline begins around 2050, but if you are looking for faster-than-light travel, weird aliens or absurdly-named planets, you won't find them here.
Happy reading...
What's Next?
Time travel by humans is a writer's fantasy, but what if an android is disabled for two centuries and then, somehow reboots?
How would the world have changed, and how would this "time traveller" adapt to the new existence forced upon them?
Would they be "old technology" in a dramatically advanced society, or would their new world have reverted to a less sophisticated, more dangerous version of civilisation?
Cassandra Smith awakes in a ruined basement, cut off from her previous responsibilities and human friends. She remembers what happened before the darkness, but now, she cannot even update her time register or establish her position by GPS. She is alone, has no purpose, and has lost the people she served.
If she can find new friends to help her, will they accept her for who, or what, she is?
She has to find a new purpose and navigate the world as it presents itself.
