about me


Probably unhealthily obsessed with games, sci-fi, comedy and fantasy football competitions. Somehow managed to rip myself away from all of the above long enough to write a book - I know - I can't believe it either!

Kings of the World

Matt J Pike

The galaxy is on the brink of war and only four dysfunctional, hormone-driven teenagers from Earth stand in its way. God help us all.


It didn’t take Cooper long to come to the conclusion that space sucks. It seems everyone there despises humans, everything’s too far away and the travel makes you heave. Worse still Cooper’s stuck there with his best mate The Ginge – who can’t tell where games end and reality begins - and two other former classmates who want to beat the crap out of him.

Oh yeah, and people, well… alien people are trying to kill them.

Space does have some good points. The boys can have anything they wish for, all they have to do is ask it … or think it. Plus they are now, somehow, Earth’s leaders - as in, more important than the President of the USA.

If Cooper can only stop the other boys from gorging on their every desire, chasing the most human looking alien women and fighting each other he might convince everyone humans aren’t the galactic equivalent of white trash.

But things are about to get a whole lot worse. War looms and Cooper and his inept sidekicks are caught in the middle. They, the Earth and the Galaxy will never be the same again.

Ashley, Congrats on the MS, the chapters I read build the interest nicely and more importantly created a very believable universe with interesting characters, story as well as a world with tangible depth. You have a real knack for description, fashioning words that lift concepts from prose to life... view book

You've got a good feel for how to draw the most out of the drama in a situation without over-cooking it. Liked your writing and good luck with the book. Matt Kings of the World view book

Powerful opening that pulls you in. Like the POV context and the music references add an extra depth of feeling. Backed. Good luck with your work. Matt view book

This is a good fun read Dixie. I will echo some other comments on the large blocks of paragraphs detracting from the prose. That aside, it's all good. Matt view book

Fun, easy writing that doesn't take itself too seriously. The result is an enjoyable, engaging read. Congrats and backed. Matt view book
