About
Mike, a native of Edinburgh, and a science graduate of Heriot-Watt University, resides in Livingston with his wife and dog, Nell. His two grown children work in Perth, WA, giving him the perfect excuse for unforgettable trips to the land down under.
When he's not writing, Mike can be found on the golf course, playing badminton or pickleball and of course... walking his dog. A lifelong passion for science inspires his stories, and while he loves exploring bold scientific ideas, he's drawn to SciFi grounded in human emotion and believable possibilities.
Plateau Station is Mike's debut novel, a testament to his creative vision and dedication to storytelling. Published in Dec 2025, readers can anticipate a fast-paced thriller with punchy chapters and thought-provoking themes. It promises an exciting, immersive adventure that science fiction fans won't want to miss.
