D.R.Holt

I’ve been a fan of Sci-Fi since around the age of seven. My love for the genre probably began when I first watched “Back to the Future” or “Terminator” and “RoboCop” at an age when I was far too young to be watching those types of films! My love for the genre only increased as time went on.

The first Sci-Fi novel I read when I was a little older was “Contact” by Carl Sagan. As I sat reading it, the novel transported me directly into its world. I lived every scene. This introduced me to the power of books and how a well-written piece can truly transport you to another place.

I have a physical collection of close to one thousand books, with almost a hundred being classic Sci-Fi, although I mostly read non-fiction for educational purposes.

I’m an avid gamer, current-generation and retro. If I can play it, then I’m there. I’m a writer and a comic book fan. I am also a big boxing fan and a reader of black history and social politics.

I’m a family man, and a proud father of two, and simply wish to leave a small, tiny legacy by completing my first book—something I hope my children can be proud of.

While this is my debut piece, I have been writing Sci-FI stories since the age of around ten. It’s taken me an additional thirty-four years to finally write a book.

I am a black British Sci-Fi fan of Jamaican heritage, and write primarily to create exciting new worlds, but also with the desire to see more representation in Sci-Fi.

I hope you enjoy my work!
