I live in Hackney, London with my two children. After the birth of my first, sixteen years ago, I realised that hitchhiking around willy-nilly having adventures was no longer possible, so I thought I would just make things up. I began with music, writing songs and stumming a guitar, then moved onto more electronic music, played some gigs, released an album etc. I still do write songs, but I have always been an avid reader and decided to try prose a couple of years ago. I started writing on the 15 minute train journey to work until they changed the trains, removing seats to increase capacity (for the Olympics), so now I write in the pub when I can get away. I like many different writers but here is a selection: Tolstoy, Mann, Hesse, Kafka, Rand, J.G. Ballard, Huxley, Lessing, Austin, Golding.
