I'm a Lancashire based IT guy who moonlights as a writer in my spare time. When not doing that, I spend time with my wife, daughter and dog; read; watch TV, films and the occasional work of theatre; and engage in intermittent bouts of extremely bad roleplaying.

I began my writing career by launching the cult gaming webzine Critical Miss (criticalmiss.com), before moving on to write regular columns for the roleplaying magazines Valkyrie and Signs & Portents, as well as penning the Slayers’ Guide to Games Masters for Mongoose Publishing.

My first novel Game Night, originally published in 2007, was shortlisted for an ENnie award in 2008. My second novel, the offbeat urban fantasy If Pigs Could Fly, will be released in autumn this year. ...more

I'd watch the surfers surf the tidal bore at Blandford Forum, then wander down to spend the evening at the harbour front in Dorchester.

The world of Kim Stanley Robinson's of Blue Mars would be pretty incredible. I'd take the train to Sheffield, a journey which would literally take us from a living, breathing landscape, into near-airless space - and bring us to the base of an elevator cable stretching up tens of thousands of miles.(less)

They're in that sub-genre of science-fiction that's almost future history, and as someone who loves both SF and history, that's a winning combination for me. So far I've done Red and Green, and have just started on Blue.

In and around that, I read the Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal. I thought that was a pretty good read, and pre-ordered the sequel (which I think is out later this month).(less)

Black Live Matter: A Personal Anecdote

Some years back, a black friend took me to a Poetry Slam event organised by the Afro-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust. The event, which pitched a team of Black British performance poets against a team of Black American performance poets in a crowd-judged event, was great fun. But it was during the interval that the founder and head of the Afro-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (Orin Lewis OBE) climbed up on the
