Doug is an avid science fiction reader preferring 'hard' science fiction. As an author, he prefers to write science fiction that is heavy in the science department. He has tried his hand at fantasy and the resulting story has been applauded by many of those who have read it as a unique approach to traditional dragon books. Dragonverse combines the technology of today's world with the allure of dragons to create a unique and enjoyable story. His Galactic Alliance series has been on the top 10 best seller techno-thriller list in the United Kingdom for some time.
