Thanks for dropping by. This is the online home of Sci-Fi. Fantasy and Horror Author, Michael Cairns.
This year is shaping up to be a killer, with the first trilogy of the City Electric Saga already available and Michael’s first children’s book just released. In the latter half of the year, since everything went south, we’ve released the first two novellas in the Friday Night Double Feature series, Jimmy Vs Mutant Killer Crocs and Jerry In The City Of The Damned. They both just as ridiculous and wonderful as they sound…

I've stopped counting words. I count the bodies now...
I’m currently working on the third book in the Nirusha series and loving it. There’s something wonderful about inhabiting the head of a sassy, magic-wielding 12 year old girl, particularly when she’s getting messed up with time travel and abandonment issues.
I was going to move onto something else, possibly my long-awaited sequel to the classic kids novel, the BFG. So far, I’ve got the title…
The FBG II, Sofie Goes Bad.
I know, great right? I’m being careful with the copyright on this one, because it’s going to feature uzis, spies and a foul mouthed monarch. Honestly, it’s going to be great. But first I have to finish Nirusha Through The Pages of Time.
I’m editing the third of my ‘gonzo’ novellas. Having just released my first kid’s book, I figured it was time to release something I’ll never let my kids read. Ever. We’ve had great feedback on Jimmy and Jerry, so I can’t wait to unleash Harry on the world…
Mixing my audio book, editing my gonzo short story series, eating too much chocolate, enjoying the life of isolation brought on by corona-related lockdown, eating too much chocolate and trying not to get cabin fever…
