Sci-fi success

Bev Allen, who lives in Newbury, fell in love with her first soldier outside Buckingham Palace. He was a Coldstream on guard and she was four.
Later she fell in love with reading and writing and then with science fiction and tales of high adventure. Later still she married a military historian and he conducted her on guided lecture tours around many a battlefield and many a museum.
Despite this, or maybe because of it, she never lost her love of all things military – hence her recently published adventure for young adults, Jabin and the Space Pirates.
“I was a runner up in a national short story competiton run by SFX magazine and judged by Gollanz. The story was published in their Pulp Fiction anthology and as result I was commissioned by Big Finish who published Dr Who stories under license from the BBC,” Bev explains.
“I wrote Jabin after that and eventually it was accepted by Taylor Street.
“They have just accepted my second novel, working title Lucien and the Tattooed Tribes and have expressed an interest in any other books I write.”
Jabin & The Space Pirates, is published by Taylor Street Publishing http//taylorstreetbooks.weebly.com
