Dangerous Games and The End of the Road.When he’s not being editor-in-chief of Solaris, Abaddon Books and Ravenstone he tinkers with words. He lives with his family in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
1. Tell
us three things about yourself.
My Dad is a retired Anglican priest and my
Mum is a psychiatrist.
I used to be a stand-up comedian.
A glove puppet called Thomas Pigotti lives
on my desk at work.
Lord, that’s a hard one. I think it was my
story 'Punchline', but I can’t remember what the publication was called. It was a
while ago now.
3. Which
piece of writing are you proudest of?
I think the last few years I’ve got a lot
more focused (though not any more prolific) and I’m most fond, at the moment,
of my story 'White Horse' in The Alchemy
Book of Urban Mythic.
Anything from my teenage years. There were
the obligatory years of bad poetry. And I’m sure if I went and looked back at
some of the odd stand-up material there may be things there...
5. What’s
a normal writing day like?
There is no normal writing day. I work full
time and we have two pre-school-age
daughters, so I write when I can, which
isn’t as often as I like, but then I’m also quite lazy.
I’d go with 'White Horse.'
7. What
are you working on now?
I’m writing a very very gruesome horror
story, but also working on a novel collaboration which will be very different
to most things I’ve done.
