Hey people!

About Me

I live in Derbyshire (thats next door to Nottingham for all you from across the sea), UK. I'm 35 years old and have a four year old son called Kyle who I love to bits.

I work (some would say otherwise - you know who you are) in a company called Advanced Composites that produces materials used in the aerospace and defence markets and in other high performance technology industries such as motorsport, automotive, marine and wind energy.

My main interest at the moment is writing. I have been scribbling for over a year now and hope to have my novel in its first draft by xmas. (its been slow going) I will post more details about my work in my blog and hopefully have some excerpts for you too read when I've got passed first draft. (sorry for the wait)

My Interests

writing, Lord of the Rings online, reading, films, gadgets, poker.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with similar interests and anyone with completely different interests. Everyone is welcome.

Music:

I enjoy a wide selection of music but my all time favs would be Queen, Enya. More resent bands I enjoy are cold play, kaiser chiefs, nelly furtado, lilly allen just to name a few.

Movies:

I love flims, but my all time favs would be Highlander (the first one, the second one stinks.) Aliens, Serenity and Lord of the Rings.

Television:

Red Dwarf, Stargate (shame its finished, can't wait for the flim), Firefly and anything sci-fi

Books:

Read alot, fav authors are Terry Brooks, James Clemens, Stan Nicholls, Truidi Canavan and Terry Pratchett. Just finished reading Delver Magic by Jeff Inlo, great book. Read it if you get chance. Best of all its a free read. Another great free read is Scott Marlowe's The Hall of the Wood.

Why did I decide to write a novel?
