Laziness, sloppiness, stupidity. If you're going to do it, do it properly.

Began writing years ago. Had what I thought was a great idea for a fantasy novel which ended up 200K+ words of unwieldy and disjointed treacle - never finished. Written many short stories but haven't attempted to publish anything. Love sci-fi and decided to give keyboard bashing one last try after having what I hope is a good idea.

Most precious to me: my family: my wife Kate, our two daughters Lucy and Molly our baby son Thomas (gone but not forgotten), and my mum and dad and brother Rob.

Day job - electronics engineer.
