From ISFDB

Editing at ISFDB since August 2011, after looking up details on my little-known namesake and discovering I had my own shady past mixed up with his. This is me. As a semi-compulsive list-maker I've given in to my bibliographic tendencies and try to contribute to ISFDB most days of the week.

My fiction reading is a 50/50 genre/mainstream split, with the SF/F/H ratio being roughly 80/10/10. My reviews and commentary of most stuff I read usually ends up at Fictionstream; offcuts can be found scattered across my Live Journal. I've also reviewed for Foundation, Strange Horizons and Vector, and have articles in several UK fanzines yet to be listed here.

Twice winner of the Nova Award for 'Best British Fanzine' with Zoo Nation, and once more for Journey Planet which I occasionally guest-edit.

Owner of around 3,000 genre books, half of which are first edition hardcovers and 95% of which are science fiction, currently spread over three locations in two countries (England and Thailand). As a reader of science fiction since around 10 years old I burned out and took a 15-year hiatus from around 1985-2000 but am now fully immersed again. I blame Mary Doria Russell. Backgrounded in design and illustration but doing more (and better) with photography these days. I'm usually at altitude somewhere around the planet when not plugged into the internet.
