If you've got this far, then you've already read the bit on my portfolio, but this is the potted version: I'm an aspiring novelist, I work in an office and whilst I should be using my free time to write a book, I spend most of it playing video games instead. Still not entirely sure that it's time wasted. |
Primarily a novelist, as said. Mainly fantasy and sci-fi, but also the occasional crime or historical piece. |
I don't consider myself as having a fixed style. It depends on what I feel the story requires. But I experiment where I can. |
Writing books, reading books, watching films and TV, playing video games. I'm not that complicated a guy. Also love to travel, but I never have any money, so it hardly ever happens. *sigh* |
