Self-indulgent section! Some of it was written as lyrics for friends' bands. Some was written by friends during college days. Co-author of Petulia's Party/Albion is Dale Ashman: http://www.daleashman.co.uk (for Dale's latest CD). Dale's song-writing friend Dave Stead's site is at: Forbidden Zone/Orange Box .

Most of my stories came to me in dreams as complete stories. Friends tell me I don't have dreams, I have "in-sleep movies". After a vivid dream, I sat down to type it up; some hours later I would "come to" and read what I had typed, having no memory of actually writing it. Some needed a little work to make sense of the story, but others have been left just the way I dreamt them. I used to write the stories to amuse friends. Most have a SF&F theme.
