You've stumbled upon the homepage of Steve Statham, writer, editor and photographer.
I
haunt both the fiction and non-fiction worlds, splitting my time
between writing science-fiction novels and short stories, and reporting
for the oil-drenched automotive journalism market. Yes, I write about
spaceships and cars, which ain't bad work if you can get it.
My new novel Rules of Force
has just been released, of which you can find more details below and on
"The Books" page. It's the first in a planned series, so check back for
updates.
Drop by anytime.

New Release!
My sci-fi thriller novel Rules of Force is out in e-book format, and as a trade paperback!
Here's the teaser:
Rules of Force
Connor Rix was there at the beginning, when the second-generation Brazilian steroids first arrived on the scene, along with the blood boost packs. It was his job to keep the newly-superhuman rowdies under control and shut down the most poisonous of the new modification labs. Not an easy job, but unbreakable bones and state-of-the-art optical implants sure help.
But now the list of bio-engineered miracles available to the public has grown as broad as the desires of mankind. And one man is leaving a trail of bodies across the Texas Republic as he brutally takes control of the market in human modifications and suppresses all competitors.
What will it take to stop him? And what price must Rix pay to bring the man to justice? Fortunately, Rix isn’t working this job alone. He has a nearly 7-foot giant on his team with a one-of-a-kind exoskeleton boosting his strength off the charts. And then there's the night owl who never sleeps (or so she says) but that's not her only modification. The woman Rix wants to make his wife is along for the ride too, if she can keep her fears in check.
These four must square off against an army of modified enforcers to bring down the man who seeks to rule the bio-enhancement trade. All they have to figure out now is if their famous benefactor is a friend or foe….
Rules of Force is a 57,000-word novel plus bonus material. It is available through all major e-book outlets.
