Good evening! Well done for finding your way here. My name is Lachlan Marnoch, and I like to consider myself a writer. My passion is in building and exploring other worlds, and my writing tends to incorporate whatever obscure bit of scientific miscellanea has been rattling around my brain lately. Most of my writing can be classified as either fantasy or science fiction (or both).
I'm in love with science; I've completed a double degree (Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics and Astronomy, with Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing) and a Master of Research in Astrophysics, and am in the middle of a PhD in the same.
If any of that sounds intriguing to you, take a look at the blog!
