Favourite Bands: Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, Sugar, Bob Mould, NOFX, They Might Be Giants... Favourite TV shows: Psychoville, The League of Gentlemen, The X-Files... Ongoing Works: How I Met Your Mother - no, not the US TV show, a straight up tale of espionage set against the background of family life. Currently on hiatus after part five due to a lack of good ideas. Sure, I can write reams of shorts where Leah Hargreaves is kicking ass, but without a plot to drive it, it just feels hollow... The Windthrope Legacy - my huge, sprawling Cthulhu Mythos tale. There are four completed parts so far out of ten overall. The Chronicles of Cassandra Vincent - I should finish this, I really should...yet I can't bring myself to do it! I'm scared that I'm going to kill off my favourite amoral hitwoman in a blaze of glory...then again, that's probably how Cassandra would want to go out...right?? Weird Things You Should Know: Had fate taken a different turn I would currently be Lord Hamilton of Stockport My grandfather was Monty's batman Cannock Chase DOES NOT have a Bigfoot type creature living on it...but it does have a healthy population of Satanists who use it on a weekend for all manner of nefarious deeds | |||||||
