bvw3_zpsa2ed6660[1]Review by BookViral – 25 October: a review that would make any author proud. “[…] By any stretch of the imagination, Quantum Confessions is an excellent debut and one that demands your attention. Hopefully the first of many releases from Oram, it is recommended without reservation!” (full review)

0019553-1_adWho decides what is true? – 25 August: Stephen spoke to a full tent of 250 people at the Greenbelt Festival… “Some of us believe that every point-of-view is valid and we should live and let live. Some of us believe there are concrete truths on which everyone should base their world-view, whether that’s in science, atheism or religion. Both extremes are dangerous and most of us are somewhere in between. How do we decide where to sit on that continuum and what are the consequences of our choice?” (purchase talk from festival)

Local lad returns to speak at festival 24 August: Stephen returns to his home town and is interviewed by Martin Heath for BBC Radio Northampton.

Quantum Confessions published 1 August: Stephen’s debut novel is published by SilverWood Books.
