An escape through the frozen ruins of Amsterdam; an inconveniently worded wish; warfare both magical and informational; romantic crushes, demons, ghosts and a lamentable lack of both cutlery and propriety.15 stories, some brighter, some darker. Geographically, I've lived in Scotland for most of my life, and I've lived in books for nearly as long. I think being a writer is the first job I remember wanting to do. Economically, that has always been very unlikely, and I've made a living as various kinds of computer programmer and software engineer.I write mostly for fun; let nobody pretend that writing isn't about the most fun you can have for about the least physical danger (in a free country anyway). It would also be cool to be a volcanologist, I suppose, but the odds aren't as good
