I work as a freelance writer/author/game developer/reviewer for various companies. I was born in 1969 in England and have grown up immersed in fantasy and science fiction from a very early age. I have always loved the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings and have a fondness for C.S.Lewis Narnia books, as well as the dark works of Michael Moorcock and H.P.Lovecraft.
I was given the D&D Box set at an early age and it did have an impact on my development, it started me off fiddling with rules and various systems, to adapt it to worlds that I created. It gave me an interest in writing, both from a fiction and from the statistics and rules point of view and I continually hope that I refine this as the years have marched on.
I joined Dark Quest games in 2001 and produced a number of short stories for them, as well as my own book, which on the whole I was fairly pleased with. Death Guardian of the Gate was written to provide an in-depth look at a deity involved in the Death Sphere and is based on one of my own gods from way back around the time of the Keep on the Borderlands and the Village of Hommlet.
I have worked for the PC game industry, on games like Breed, Savage and Knights of Honor. I have also written a short article for Mongoose Publishing: Signs and Portents magazine, detailing the City of Port Bax from the Lone Wolf book: Fire on the Water. I have also recently started to submit material and work with the folks from Tabletop Adventures, who are a wonderful group of folks to work with. I still live in England, write a great deal of game related material and fiction (non game related) and work on various books. I have that many irons in the fire, juggling them can sometimes be quite tricky.
I live with my wife Gill and our pet cats Midnight, Rosie and Mal who is a troublemaker (he's replaced Midnight in that respect) of the highest order. I hope to continue to write for games for a long time, and if just one person likes/uses what I do then that is fine by me.
Lately I've been looking at webcomics as another form of expanding my experience. As well as recently finishing up book 1 of a 9 book project (822 pages) between myself and another person in the Video Game Industry.
