Overview: Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980’s. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing.
Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace.

To The Lighthouse
“With the limited resources remaining to the peoples of planet Earth in the year 2192 and following the successful identification of planets far away beyond our solar system following the launch of thousands of deep space probes, mankind’s initial instinct for self-preservation awaited only the advancement of science to enable the human race to reach the stars. Yet it is not always the case that new tech or new science provides such an answer. Cryogenic freezing was now highly advanced, but star drives were still just a myth. Perhaps, considered the free peoples of planet Earth, they would always be so.
So the thought that a simpler solution was available was much welcomed. Quite simply, ammonia ice rings could be gathered by any craft as it started its journey to the stars, and the snowball of ice would be frozen and netted with it, providing sufficient fuel for the journey. The tech was poor and outdated; the solution breath-taking. Man could colonise the stars, and so plans were set in place, and the Eridani Edict began.
The ship bound for Eridani-E, named Austin 3 was moved into Earth’s orbit and the nine rings of two hundred thousand cryogenically frozen human passengers were towed into place. Once done the ship fired its fusion drives and moved out of Earth’s orbit, beginning its journey.
Once free of the solar system however the gathering of the ammonia ice began, and soon the net towed by the ship was filled with frozen fuel. The remaining crew of technicians and engineers entered cryogenic sleep, the ship now completely run on automatic systems.
Slowly but surely the sleeping crew of the Austin 3 moved into space and towards Eridani-E, the colonists and crew sleeping an endless sleep, dreaming an endless dream…”
