Professor Ronald Hutton

A very kind message about 'The Future Is Red' from Ronald Hutton, Professor of History, University of Bristol and a leading UK authority on paganism and witchcraft.
"I have now managed to read your book at last and have of course much enjoyed it. The plot and premiss of the whole thing is entirely original, and I swiftly got to care about the characters and found myself reading later than was really wise to find out what was going to happen."

The Redheads Quiz

I've just spent 5 hours putting together a 'Redheads in Literature' quiz and have finally put it up. It's good even if I say it myself.
