| Introduction | I've been inventing stories and characters since before I could read and write! My earliest works were written as comics - one frame on each side of a small page, and stapled together into Little Books. They started out as Blytonesque fantasy, but the most successful series by far was about a family living in 2127 AD who are kidnapped by aliens and have a host of adventures on different alien planets. In the early 1980s I got back into fantasy again (and started writing out stories), but I didn't want to leave all my SF behind. I started writing a strange sort of mutant fantasy with recognisable fantasy characters (wizards, princesses, etc.) but incorporating contemporary and even futuristic technology. Being a great fan of parallel-world stories I would have my characters go off on all sorts of adventures and visit hosts of strange other worlds. I have written many short stories, and one novel "Wizard For Hire" which is yet to find a publisher. I am currently working on a second novel. |
