| Introduction | I was born at a very young age and have grown older ever since, passing the time sharing my passions for films, mystery fiction and comics by publishing, editing and writing books and magazines. I spent my teenage years publishing 'Ark: The Comics Magazine' (1980-1990) and writing comics ('Second City'), before graduating to a life of crime. I co-founded 'Crime Time' magazine (1995-present), and edited 'The Third Degree: Crime Writers In Conversation', as well as writing some mystery short stories. It was during this time that I discovered the fantastic fiction of Gerald Kersh, who I have championed ever since through many articles and short story collections. One day, I'll even finish Kersh's biography. Promise. Unemployed and in need of an income, I founded Pocket Essentials in 1999, edited around 50 titles in the series, and wrote eight of them, including 'Alfred Hitchcock', and 'Noir Fiction'. This brought me to the attention of Mr. Benedikt Taschen, who took me under his wing and told me to make film books. Since 2003, I have happily carried out his wishes by editing over 50 film books for TASCHEN, including the award-winning 'The Ingmar Bergman Archives'. |
