Profile Information

Favourite Books: Anything written by the following people: Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Ian MacDonald, Alistair Reynolds, Robert Silverberg, Umberto Ecco, Brian L. Porter, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Philip Jose Farmer, okay this list could go on forever... I like things that are dark and thought provoking...

Favourite Movies: Ultraviolet, 300, Matrix Trilogy, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I-Robot, Next, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Terminator, Good will hunting, again it could go on forever... I don't mind purely action films... I tend to read more books since I don't watch TV often. Books are usually better than the films anyway (except possibly in the case of the Lord of the Rings).

Folding Infinity
Coming soon a bundle of various stories from Thrillers to Serial Killers, from Philosophical Speculation to Speculative Fiction, I've included a wide range of genres and styles so that there is hopefully something for everyone. More information as I get it, but needless to say I'll be looking forward to seeing this little baby unleashed upon the unsuspecting public.

It's strange how the three books I just happen to have right in front of me (the rest are dictionaries or buried under paperwo… Continue
