Philip Webb
At the age of 10 I wanted to be a) an astronaut, b) winner of Wimbledon, and c) an author. In that order. Turns out I hate long-haul flights and I'm rubbish at tennis. But fast-forward 35 years and I did become an author.
As a child I spent many happy days exploring a local rubbish dump, playing out all kinds of post-apocalyptic adventures with friends. This is how I came to write my first book, Six Days - a dystopian sci-fi tale set in a future London.
I've had lots of jobs: a (very bad) waiter, programmer, software designer, seller of beers on the beach, apple picker, postman, subtitler of TV programmes for the hard of hearing, user experience consultant, small business owner. And now a writer. Not exactly a clear career path, I know, but good for picking up material for stories.
Where The Rock Splits The Sky is my second book - a sci-fi Western. I like mixing up genres - it's a chance to break the rules and hopefully come up with something fresh.
My next book is a horror sci-fi historical romance comedy thriller about cookery and espionage... Not really.
If you like fast-paced, surreal action with a sci-fi twist and characters that get on and do stuff instead of moping about falling in love, then you've probably come to the right place.
