Tietoja minusta Ten years an academic, ten years a publisher, one year a novelist, forty years a reader. For some of that time, of course, all I saw were words swimming around on a page; however, I am sober more often now.

The missus, fabrile-heart, and myself have just moved back from two years in New York, NY on 66th and Riverside and are rediscovering our UK library. Unfortunately, we acquired a US library (some 600 books all told) whilst in America too, so we are in winnowing-mode. A lot of my academic books won't make the cut, so expect a slew of early modern secondary texts to disappear from my catalogue. The primary materials will stay, of course. You never know when I might feel a burning urge to reread The Shoemaker's Holiday.

I am currently reading (and reviewing) the Millennium Science Fiction and Fantasy Masterworks series as a long term project, and cutting in a grab-bag of novels, philosophy and Graeco-Roman literature in the middle, as well as anything else that catches my eye. Which tends to be rather a lot.

My unpublished MS, The Projection awaits tinkering and an unhappy future of rejection and disdain. Ah, how art imitates life! If I'm stupid enough, I will crank out another one this year.

Back in West Sussex, I judiciously divide my time between cat tickling, bourbon & whisky drinking, Rabelasian feats of gastronomy and bouts of carousing, black metal & opera listening, wave watching and gull-bothering, miring myself in musickal miasmas, rural and costal tramping, gaming (unplugged), loafing on licensed premises, and - almost forgot - reading.

Tietoja kirjastostani Philosophy (especially the historical materialist and phenomenological traditions), early modern literature, Loebs, original black-spined Penguin Classics and orange-spined Penguin English Library, the Millennium SF and Fantasy Masterworks series, the Gollancz SF Collectors' Edition, WWI aviation, Dr. Who NAs, MAs, EDAs, PDAs and Targets, Michael Moorcock hardbacks, the Mandarin Dickens edition, Vonnegut, Nye, Fischer, any amount of pulpy SF... halp!
