I read Sci-fi avidly as a teenager and it still forms part of my regular reading.
Reading is an essential pleasure in life. The whole world is opened up to you and all of human thoughts and minds. With Sci-fi the whole universe, time and all possibility is brought to bear. The only limitation is the imagination.
I tend not to like Fantasy. I like my Sci-fi futuristic with a basis in science and reality.
Sci-fi stimulated a lot of the music I love – the Psychedelia of Hendrix and Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett.
I started writing Sci-fi in 1971 and have a number of books on Amazon:
You have written an impressive number of books!
Yes. I surprise myself. I just write and write.
