I'm a retired technician best known as a role-playing game author. I publish the Forgotten Futures RPG on line as a free download. See my web page for more about the game and the FF library of Victorian and Edwardian fiction, articles, and illustrations. I'm also the author of the Diana: Warrior Princess RPG published in print by Heliograph Inc. and available as an etext frpm Drivethru RPG and Steve Jackson Games e23, and The Original Flatland Role Playing Game, based on Edwin Abbott's classic book, a world where characters are supposed to be two-dimensional, and is sold in aid of Doctors Without Borders, also available from e23 and Drivethru RPG.

I find most of the fiction I like by looking at the favourites list of reviewers and the authors I read here. Please keep a favourites list, even if I'm not on it! And please take a look at my favourites list, there are some excellent stories there (and a few that I liked ten or twenty years ago and wouldn't now, or that turned out not so good that I haven't got round to deleting - this is NOT a guarantee of quality, I don't have the patience to re-read them all)

I don't usually reply to reviews unless they make an important point about a story or raise matters that need to be addressed in future installments, but I always read them. I'll reply to questions if you ask them, but it's probably better to do that in a message rather than a review.

At the end of April 2020 this site began to place advertisements into the text of stories as well as above and below them, which makes them difficult to read and ruins the pacing and mood of many passages. Because of this I had planned to stop posting new stories to this site, but various reviewers have convinced me that this is less than a problem than I thought, with the right browser add-ins, and I will continue to update and add any new stories here. If you experience problems, you can see my work advert-free on Twisting the Hellmouth and Archive Of Our Own.

Following numerous messages and reviews, please DON'T bother to ask me if I want art for my stories - if I think they need it I will create my own. I now report all messages and reviews of this type as spam.
