Visions of the Future - Bringing you stories of intrigue, action, love, and adventure from near and far.
The advances in science and rise of authoritarianism augur a turbulent future where many will be doomed to dystopian lifestyles far from any utopian dream imagined by writers of the twentieth century.
Without doubt, the further we go from today, the stranger things will become. However, for all the gloomy outlooks in the short term, the many possible futures remain unpredictable and possibly amazing. That's the simple but open-ended inspiration for much of Julian's shorter fiction.
Every October, Julian collates everything he's written over the previous year that hasn't been for any other books, and creates a digital volume for your enjoyment, which is published in December.
From alternate history, through dystopian tomorrows, to the furthest reaches of mankind's colonisation of space, he uses the flash fiction format, interspersed with short fiction pieces, to provide many tales to enchant and entertain.

Julian's first loves were science fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. This led him to a love of speculative fiction, initially as a reader, then as a reader and writer.
He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling. In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with the smallest complete role-playing system in the world).
With over 30 books published in digital and physical formats, he has no intention of stopping this writing lark anytime soon, and he'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a book or two.
