I WOULD advise all sci fi enthusiasts to have a look on the leading internet home shopping service and show their support for local Swindon prolific author Barry E Woodham.

He has, I understand, self published eight books in the last fifteen years. His latest book, Star Seed Awakenings, was a cracking good read and left the reader unable to put it down.

I have to say I really cannot understand why this chap isn’t a household name. His efforts by far surpass a lot of the trash on our shelves in bookshops. It’s a shame this author cannot achieve celebrity status.

So come on sci fi fans of Swindon – support a local born and bred author and give his fantastic works a try. You will not be disappointed.
