Author has written 26 stories for Sci-Fi, and General.

I have been writing science fiction for about 6 years now posting on sites like SFF World and Fiction Press under my real name of David Scholes:

http://www.sffworld.com/community/story/3744p0.html

I have been writing Marvel Comics fan fiction for about 9 years now. Mostly posting on fan fiction net under my name and, at one time, the Alvaro's Comics Message Boards (Thor, Cosmic Marvel and the Comics Battle Board) under my posting name of Garth.

I was published early in 2009 with a collection of short science fiction stories. The links to my authors page on the publishers web site and to an authors YOU TUBE video are:

Since then I have been published five times (all self published). These are all enrolled in KDP Select so that I'm able to make the e-book available as a free download from Amazon for 5 days in every 90 days.

My "Soldier of the Brell" novella received a good review from Paul Cole on the Beam Me Up Podcast site in July 2012:

In 2011 I wrote a 12 part monthly Alien Hunter Series for the then Golden Visions science fiction site. That series remained on the Golden Visions site until late July 2012 when GVM was closed down, hopefully only temporarily. In early 2012 I self published that series as my "Alien Hunter, Star Trooper" novella. This novella has received some favourable reviews:

In addition my 5 part "Trathh" story arc is about to conclude on Paul's site - on Saturdat 11 May 2013.

I have had eight flash fiction stories published on the Australian Antipodean SF site: The Visit, Surprise Attack, Dangerous Journey, Inter-Net Writer, the Succession, Trath, Equalisation. and The Lodger. My The Young/Old War is due to be published in the August 2013 edition of Antipodean SF.

I work as an economic and financial (and occasionally actuarial) consultant to various Australian Federal Government Departments.

Cheers
