  • I Am Freelance

    After 15 years in the aerospace industry, I made the decision at the start of the year that it was about time I focused on writing again. It’s something I used to do for DMA Design and it’s something I loved doing – even when Dave Jones once asked me to write a full-sized Body Harvest novel in a month flat. I have a few projects in mind and now I have the time to do them.

 Twitter Right Brain Rumblings

Blog entries prior to 2012 have been transferred from my old Right Brain Rumblings at Blogspot and lightly reformatted, with typos corrected wherever I spotted one. I've also transferred the entries from my old DMA Design website. So if you were looking for the retro games stuff, it's going to be here now. I've also taken the opportunity to add images where I can.
