Hello. I’m James Marson, a writer based in South London.

I am the proud self-published author of “The Colour of Robots“, a light comic sci-fi adventure. Check the sidebar for a preview or click here to purchase or read some reviews.

I am currently working on my latest novel, a light comic fantasy. More on that soon.

I believe writing should be entertaining, first and foremost. Humour is really important to me. I have always loved what happens when the worlds of fiction, science and human nature collide and the way that technology and computer games have changed how our viewpoints.

Since I have a degree in chemical engineering (otherwise known as ‘advanced plumbing) and a Masters from Central School of Speech and Drama, I don’t believe arts and science are as far apart as we like to believe; there is science in creativity and creativity in science.

If you’ve read this far, I think you should continue that commendable streak and check out my novel. It’s a jolly good read, even if I am somewhat biased.

In my other life, until recently I worked for a major UK broadcaster. My job was to stock the shelves of their shiny new streaming service with the best British TV out there, as well as commissioning a few titles of my own. There are some advantages to being an avid consumer of British TV…

My love of technology means I am also the creator of a small suite of mobile writers tools that help develop characters, stories and themes. See, there is a theme.
