Welcome to my website. As a science fiction author, I wanted the opportunity to showcase my work to other science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts. Please feel free to read the available sample chapters. You can also keep up to date with my Blog http://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/ - or just press the Blog button under Home... I've also posted a number of my science fiction and fantasy book reviews. If you've a few minutes, why not browse through them?
I'm busy editing my latest novel, a science fiction book set in Maine, USA after civilisation has crashed, with the working title Netted. When I've knocked it into shape, I'll be posting a sample chapter onto my website. With my Creative Writing course at Northbrook College taking up a lot of time, I haven't been writing many short stories, recently.
