For a while, the site had a user login and a forums section, the hope being that I would attract enough people who enjoyed my work enough to want to discuss it with others, or at the very least were confused enough that they’d try to get some answers. As the more astute of you may already have checked, they’re gone – for now, at least.

In addition to the full-length stories, I am proud to announce my first collection of short stories: I Am Machine. A series of tales about the lives of artificial intelligences, written solely from their perspective.

You can check out the first short story in the collection, The Howl of the Wolf, right now. There will be more to come in the future!

It might not come as a surprise, but I really love cooking. It’s creative, kinda messy, and you can eat the results. My favourite sort of food is the kind of big, heavy meal that sticks to your ribs and leaves you feeling warm and toasty. Usually involving something getting fried or grilled. I’m not one to go off recipes, I like to practice through trial and error. I experiment a lot, throwing in new ingredients here and there.

The latest edition of Dungeons & Dragons was released to a vague fanfare earlier this week, and honestly it’s a baffling piece of work. This is not the point where I explain that I cut my teeth on D&D at an early age, in fact I was fairly late to the whole “roleplaying” thing, which is quite odd for a dyed-in-the-wool nerd like myself.
