A. Smith I was born in England in the late sixties. My first novel, The Nephilim Tree, I wrote after years wondering about the meaning of life (yea, I know), where we come from and why we're here. Some of the names aren't what they seem, re-arrange their letters and you'll see they have meaning too.Ripple, my second novel, is a science fiction story about a man whose life changes in the blink of an eye. It highlights how sometimes even the simplest decisions in life can lead to the biggest changes.I'm fascinated by timing of events. If you hadn't stopped to do your shoe laces up then things may have taken a very different path (or you could have just tripped up!)...I've been told I think too much, which probably shows in The Nephilim Tree. I lightened up a bit with Ripple and found it fun and fast paced, especially the ending.I've just released my third novel, Don't Disturb The Bee. It's another science fiction story but also a murder mystery with a twist...There are other C. A.Smith authors out there, and I wish them all good luck, but you'll notice my novels/stories will contain "4MCKM" on the title page.Good luck on your journey and may you enjoy reading my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them.Carpe Diem
