Despite being a boring Chartered Accountant, I've lived and worked all over the world, I'm multi-lingual, I've had a wild python crawl over my legs, and been chased by machete wielding mobs.
I've loved Science Fiction ever since I started reading, from Edgar Rice Burroughs, Doc EE Smith, Poul Anderson, Keith Laumer, Andre Norton, to David Drake and David Weber. I particularly like Military Science Fiction and my favourite publisher is BAEN.
My science fiction is based upon coherent worlds where things don't happen to work just because it is convenient to the plot, and where the concepts and "what ifs" are just as important as the lives of the characters and never just provide a pretty background of stars to a romance.
