Welcome to my official website.
My name is H. W. Hanlon and
I am a writer of mainly science fiction and fantasy.
When I do writing exercises (some of which are here) I don't normally write in my chosen genre.
I was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and have lived most of my life there.
Only spending a few months working away from home.
While away I started writing the first few pages of my novel 'Project Astra'.
Those pages actually started life as another story which won an award (see below).
I always keep my scribblings; you never know when you can recycle them.
In the past I have had one poem published in a local magazine
and won second prize in a Star Trek poetry competition. That
poem you will find on this website.
At another Star Trek Convention, I entered my first short story
competition and won The Best Novice Award for it.
The first chapters of both my science fiction and fantasy novels are also here.
