edit data

I am self-published with twenty-eight books on Amazon. My latest is Safe Zone, a dystopian/post-apocalyptic thriller. It follows on from the SFV-1 series (Infected, Darkness and Reset), but is completely stand-alone, so can be read as a story within itself.

Other recent releases include Where There's Doubt, a psychological drama about a romance scammer and his victims, and Megacity, the final part in the dystopian Operation Galton trilogy - the follow-up to Hope and Wasteland - and The Visitor, a post-apocalyptic murder mystery set in the same world as my Project Renova series, but a separate story, with new characters.

I'm a Walking Dead addict; I love watching great TV series, and reading anything to do with history, post apocalypse, dystop ...more

Seasonal Beauty on the Way to Asda

Rowan trees looking particularly fruitful - a harsh winter?

Don't take photos of yourself with the sunlight behind...

Acer just starting to turn

Point the camera an inch to the left and get a completely different light - this one looked kind of eerie so I tried it in black and white too! Reminds me of the film The Birds, somehow.

Terry Tyler said: " Psittacide is set 150 years in the future, when former stand-up comedian Jim Liu navigates the world of American politics in which authenticity and any real values or integrity are forgotten relics of the past. And if you think that sounds pretty muc Psittacide is set 150 years in the future, when former stand-up comedian Jim Liu navigates the world of American politics in which authenticity and any real values or integrity are forgotten relics of the past. And if you think that sounds pretty much like 2024, with all potential leaders resorting to blatant lying and any desperate tricks they can to discredit the opposition, you wait until you meet Silas Blackwolf and Oliver O'Shea.

The shifting of political stances means that the Democrats have become conservatives and the Republicans the liberals, which made me think of the main UK parties, whose lines have blurring for many years now; who knows what their agenda(s) will be in 2172?

In the future world between these pages, most of the bad stuff predicted by the cynics/realists of the current day has happened - drug dependency and sex clubs are the norms (Jim and his girlfriend keep a sex robot under the bed), the attention span of the masses has shortened to the extent that a writer of Blankpage books can win a prize for literature - Karl's process is to think up a concept, brief outline and title, let his terminal design a cover, and publish. That's it. 'Other than the summary of the plot on the back cover and by Karl on the front, all pages would be blank'. Fake has become real: actors don't need to be present to act in films, politicians don't have to attend vote-winning activities, whole civilisations can be artificially created for the screen - anything can be rendered to look as if it actually happened. Populations live in virtual reality without knowing it.

Sometimes it seems as though this novel is a comment on/lampoon of events and people in the present world, other times just the product of Mr Haradon's entertaining thought processes. The title refers to the strange diseases affecting parrots everywhere. Those genetically modified parrots, that is, who play such an important part in the new world. I loved the observations of one character who predicts the worrying rise of the parrots, now that racism is a thing of the past (as everyone is, in 2172, a mixture of ethnicities).

I liked it more than the first book in the series, which I found a bit scattered. I look forward to Book 3, Bubblequake - which refers to the bigger inside than outside residences (like the Tardis): the bubbles.

It's great - and may make you glad you were born in the 20th century. ...more "

Terry Tyler liked Sally Cronin's review of Safe Zone: "Having read the dystopian novels over the last few years from Terry Tyler, I did wonder just how much more terrifying a scenario she could conjure up and still hover so close to home with both disease and human behaviour.
