*Now a winner of the 2025 Firebird Literary Awards*

A recent review on Instagram (Not paid for). "Tim Rees’ Original Book One is a bold reimagining of what life could be if we started over. In this visionary tale, we meet Anu—a girl whose energy vibrates in perfect harmony with nature. Think Mowgli meets Tarzan, but on a new planet, where the future of humankind depends on the lessons we’ve failed to learn on Earth.

Readers are calling it “fantastic” and “refreshingly different.” With deep ecological themes, immersive world-building, and a protagonist unlike any other, this is more than just a sci-fi story—it’s a call to reconnect with the natural world.

If you’re drawn to powerful characters, fresh starts, and stories that question who we are and who we could become—Original Earth is your next adventure."

Okay, so, in my most humble of opinions, reviews don't get much better than that and the reviewer really got the point of the story - my inspiration, Anu the character and the fact it's first and foremost an entertaining adventure.

Books One, Two and Three are now available. Currently writing Book Four, so don't be shy in telling me how you feel the story should evolve...
