What they say:
“His is a talent to which all writers of sf should aspire: classic, dignified, and undeniably fresh in its subtle confrontation of modernity.” – Paul Hughes, executive editor of Silverthought
"Each story in this collection is a mini-masterpiece; there is no better way than describing them. That is by no means an exaggeration. What DJ does with such precision is describe each detail so vividly and exactly that he draws you- seemingly without effort- in to his warped wonderful world. This is, quite simply put, a must have book." – PS Gifford
"For a first collection, there is a very high hit ratio of really good stories. He makes his characters and story the focus of his writing, letting the ideas be a tool for the telling, rather than focus the story on the scientific idea – which makes a nice change from many other short science fiction stories I’ve read." – Rob Spalding, Whispers of Wickedness
"…reminiscent of the best sci-fi short stories written in the nineteen fifties and sixties...If you read as much as I do you often get a feel for where the story is taking you and often get to the twist before the author does, but Borrowed Time had me guessing right to the end…"
– Charles Packer, Sci-fi Online
Yulia Pikhtina was the inspiration for 'Dream Girl' which appears in 'Test Drive'

Silverthought: Ignition
Featuring ‘Anthropomorphs’
by DJ Burnham
"From death robots to giant roaches, from vengeful household appliances to the most chilling manifestations of inhuman evil, Silverthought: Ignition is a collection of some of the finest emerging talent in sf today. Dark and humorous, challenging and entertaining, this anthology represents the best short fiction featured on silverthought.com in its first five years. Ignition fearlessly confronts critical questions about who we are and where we are going."
DJ Burnham has had a lifelong love of Science Fiction. Having stepped back from an exciting sideline in concert promotion, he has found time to pen some stories of his own, many of which have appeared in webzines such as Silverthought, Bewildering Stories and Aphelion.
In 2005 he had a short story published as part of a speculative fiction anthology Silverthought: Ignition (which made the semi-finals of the Fantasy/Science Fiction category of this year's Independent Publisher Book Awards).
The first collection of DJ Burnham's short stories was published in July 2007, with all of the profits from the sales going to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
He also writes poetry and creates original decoupage-style artwork.
DJ Burnham lives in Brighton, England with his wife Sue and their cat. He is a Health Service worker by day and a dreamer by night.
