(Reposted) Genres, aesthetics, settings and plots. Oh my.

16/8/2015

(Edited and reposted from a blog which I started for... reasons, but then forgot the address for, and which has been abandoned in favour of this one even though I found it again)

In which I propose a crude categorisation of genres, and set myself up to be insulted by people with more strongly held opinions than me (pre-emptive passive-aggressive defence against people with more deeply considered and informed opinions than me).

Welcome to my second attempt to get an author website up and running. This is a work in progress (well, clearly...) and will evolve and be restyled as time goes on.

Here you can find out a little bit about me but, more importantly (he said optimistically), you can find links to my published works.

I fully intend to update this semi-regularly with news, thoughts, rants and observations, so let's see how that goes, shall we?

Author

Writer of speculative things. Journalist. Editor. Archer. Motorcyclist. Compulsive dreamer. Embittered rationalist.

Australian, so I'll be using that spelling here. Please point out mistakes, just remember that some mistakes are just localisations (see that 's' instead of 'z'? That's what I'm talking about)
