The Otero County Disclosure is my debut novel, coming in 2025. An epic story for our times.
Inspired by real-life events, influenced by the biggest question of all, and intuiting the global chaos of the late 2020s, the story follows Norman and his disabled teen daughter, Ex, as they grapple the true nature of our reality – a world beyond the material – and the current state of our society. It explores consciousness, identity, technological advancement and its encroachment in our lives, knowledge primacy, privacy, and of course our place in the Universe. An exciting, funny and at times poignant study, of a father and daughter living through the brightest – and darkest – of times.
What answers to big, universal questions does wheelchair-bound Ex have, and where do her theories come from? How could anyone know her ideas if she’s never been able to talk… until now. Super-bright seventeen-year-old Ex doesn’t realise, but she has someone’s attention.
Her widowed dad, Norman, working away for a renowned defence aerospace firm in the Arizona desert, has challenges of his own; anxiety, and a tricky programme rumoured to involve ‘exotic’ technologies. However, it might well be Norman’s biggest problem is his opinionated daughter back home.
At its heart, The Otero County Disclosure is a novel about hope, humanity, and the untapped power of the human mind.

Are some encounters really just coincidence?
Returning home one evening from an engagement in London, wheelchair-bound teen, Ex, and her dad, Norman, are helped by an odd stranger who seems to know plenty about them.
Who is the unknown man, and why does he want to talk UFOs? This chance meeting takes a peculiar turn.
But Ex isn’t your typical kid with cerebral palsy, and her dad Norman’s not about to start an ordinary job. They don’t know it yet, but this is where it all begins…
