About Me

I am a UK based writer, living in the southeast of England. I mostly write historical fiction with fantasy stirred into the mix, although I also have been known to write a bit of Science Fiction now and again. I like to have good characters that fit realistically into the world I have created. As you can see from my website, I also like to research my historical backgrounds quite thoroughly.

My reading tastes, I think, are fairly broad. I like Gene Wolfe, Leo Tolstoy, Ursula le Guin and Iain Banks in particular, and I’m currently getting into Dan Simmons and Neal Stephenson.

Go to the Writing page for more about what I have written and what I am writing. I am also the Editor of Alt Hist, the new magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History.
