About the author

40 books14 followersThank you for visiting my goodreads page!
I've been games programming for over 30 years (starting with the Spectrum) and writing for over 20. Blimey, that sounds a lot. I live in Brisbane with my wife, two children and Nelly and Flossie the cavoodles. We also unwittingly support the local possums.
I love to write science fiction (with an unhealthy interest in dystopian worlds, about which my Speckledom series of stories is about, beginning with Brightly Falling) and fantasy (the Gateway World stories, of which The Watchman's Daughter is my most recent). I also dabble in a strange kind of fantasy / humour hybrid (the vastgreen forest; Double Negative) and occasionally feel compelled to write a slipstream tale (Elysium).
I give my stories away for free in the hope that somebody, some day, will read something in one of them and think ... “Wow! That’s so cool. I’m going to be a writer.” ... just as I did when I was 16 years old and found a dusty old copy of Asimov’s Foundation in the attic.
