Hi Deborah, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself. I've been a health care practitioner for the past 34 years, Chiropractor, Homeopath, Master's in Nutrition, mostly doing functional medicine. But I've always had a burning interest in fantasy, magic, etc. A much different side of me, I know. About five years ago, after having made notebooks full of ideas, I sat down one very wintry Saturday afternoon...

Hi Andy, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself? I live in England with my fabulous wife and for a living I smash up cars in an attempt to make them safer (basically, I design the bits on your car which are meant to bend when someone drives into you). At night, I become an Imaginaut and I write. I love reading and writing horror, science fiction and fantasy stories. I am also a complete super geek; I have a line-to-line...
