Craig Anderson can't stand writing about himself in the third person. I’m a Brit that lives in Canada, and I moved here via Australia, so no matter where I go people hear my bizarre accent and ask me where I’m from. I have a beautiful wife, two rambunctious kids, a cat called Sydney, and a Sheepadoodle puppy.

I love to write humour (yes that is how they spell it where I am from!) with just a touch of depth. If I can make you laugh and then make you think, I’m on the right track. I have a soft spot for characters with hidden strength, the types that no-one thinks will amount to anything. Give me a nun-chuck wielding elf or a granny hacker any day of the week. ...more

Power Up – Chapter 1

Dr. Jasmine Bashir stared at the computer screen, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was short, barely creeping over 5ft, which resulted in her lab coat almost brushing the floor. It was as wrinkle free as a military uniform, and was a dazzling bright white that contrasted with her light brown skin. Her dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail, to keep it out of her face. A pair of protectiv

“Apparently when considering the correct response to the fight or flight reflex my body went for secret door number three, which is stand in the same spot and scrunch my face up like my poop is coming out sideways. Natural selection at work.”
