Russell Kightley has been writing sci-fi stories since 2014. His books are philosophical science fiction / literary fiction / magical realism with a slice of satire and a twist of time travel. Often, they explore the nature of consciousness and reality, but they're written in a light and easy style, often with wordplay. Russell Kightley, a long time scientific illustrator, lives in Canberra, the capital of Australia, with his wife, an astrophysicist, and his younger daughter, a science student. His elder daughter is a well-known model. Ollie the shih-tzu lives with him and features in some of the stories.
