That jolly nice Tony Ballantyne has a piece on his blog as part of his How Writers Write series. I was thrilled to do this… and it includes photos of me in my home, which is a rare thing…

Excellent interview. You come across as very lucid about the writing process.

Thanks! It's a Pisces cup. An ironic gift from my mum to one who has absolutely no belief in astrology…

After winning the story bundle and reading Hairy London (in progress), I have suddenly developed an acute hunger to read other works of yours. Why are there not more hours in the day?

Qualitatively,however.

I'm sorry to say I even stack them roughly in subject order…
All life-sciences together, all SF together, all fungi together. You sad bugger Steve!

Fungi interest me (scientifically). See Urbis Morpheos ...

I got interest in fungi because of very interesting discoveries,the past ten years or so.Some excellently preserved fungi have been found.
e.g.Dorfelt in PALAEONTOLOGY 49/5:Protophysarum in eocene Amber(free access,BTW)
You might already know some or all of this.
Anyway Google either eg Klymiuk space PDF,to give you an inkling,or Michael Krings space PDF
