About

This Is the Story (As The Proclaimers would say)

First there were The Moomins and the Borrowers. They were joined by Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger. Along came Danny Dunn and his adventures, then Hal and Roger Hunt and their adventures. One day my brother came home from school and told me about this wild book he was reading about these dwarves and something called a hobbit. I didn’t have time for that. I had a spacesuit and I needed to travel. I needed Action. Comic book anti-heroes who wore bad attitudes like they wore leather jackets. It was 2000AD in 1977. Things were getting serious. Herbert and King came calling. Out in space, a war was going on forever. Back here on earth, a little kid and his stuffed tiger were making me laugh. There were places to explore; The Culture, The Many-Coloured Land, Majipoor, Lankhmar, Melnibone, Westeros. The journey went on. For years, for decades. Until now. Now it’s time to start my own journey. So here we are.
