CHARLES A CORNELL lives in a small village in rural Lincolnshire, England with his wife and a ginger tabby. When Charles isn’t trying to survive the chaos of everyday life, he’s dreaming up speculative fiction ranging from the mysterious to the macabre, often by blending science fiction with fantasy and alternative history. He’s a regular contributor to podcasts, seminars and conferences, and conducts webinars and workshops on his specialty, retro-punk fiction (Steampunk, Dieselpunk). His newest novel series, Astragenesis opens with Book 1 - REBORN, an alien invasion/post-apocalyptic thriller set in the Western USA decades after nuclear wars and climate change have ravaged the world. A gutsy emergency doctor and a brilliant astrophysicist face impossible odds to survive aliens who have engineered a new species of humans to replace us. His first published novel, Tiger Paw, won the 2012 Royal Palm Literary Award for Best Thriller from the Florida Writers Association. His dieselpunk work, DragonFly is a retro-futuristic collision of science fiction and fantasy with a generous dash of alternative history. DragonFly was a 2014 Royal Palm Literary Award Finalist in Science Fiction, has received numerous Amazon Five-Star reviews, two prestigious Reader's Favorite Five Star Reviews, and won the 2018 Reader's Favorite Silver Medal in the Young Adult - Action category. Charles's short stories and novellas have appeared in the anthologies, The Prometheus Saga, Return To Earth, The Masters Reimagined, The Light Fantastic, and In Shadows Written. His Prometheus Saga science fiction stories Crystal Night and The Orchid Man both won FWA Royal Palm Gold Medals for Short Fiction. His new tool for character creation, The Character Quad, is a must-have addition to every author's library shelf whether you are writing a single novel or building a multi-character universe for a novel series.
