Author has written 62 stories for Alexander, and Gravitation.

Greetings from Moon 71!

I have been writing stories from the moment I learned how to write. I also love to read. SciFi is my favourite genre but I'm also a big fan of detective, mystery, supernatural and historical fiction and will give just about any book a go. On the non-fiction front I love history, natural history, art and popular science and spend a great deal of my spare time in the museums, art galleries and the cinema.

I do hope you enjoy my stories - as anyone who has had the dubious fortune to make contact with me will tell you, I'm very friendly and very talkative and am always glad to chat via email, so if you ever have a question or an observation do drop me a line (but be prepared for a very long response!)

Obviously for the purposes of this site my main theme is Alexander the Great, who I find a fascinating figure if rather doubtful hero material. Being a bookworm I've worked my way through a great deal of books about him, especially novels, and I'm always happy to make recommendations! Troy and the Ancient Greek myths also enthrall me and I'm always happy to pass on - or to receive - any recommendations around these subjects too.

NOTE: ALL STORIES ARE NOW ALSO BEING COPIED TO MY LIVE JOURNAL (YES, IT DOES FINALLY EXIST...) SO IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE HERE, JUST HAVE A LOOK THERE. AT THE MOMENT ITS OPEN TO EVERYONE! SORRY, TOO STUPID TO PROVIDE A LINK YET, BUT ITS MOON71, JUST LIKE HERE! A BIT OF A NO-BRAINER, REALLY...
