Bio:
By day I'm an educational technician, by night I'm author and publisher of the Forgotten Futures role playing game on line and on CD-ROM (it was also briefly in print but the publisher pulled the plug on it). I write fan-fiction when I'm feeling blocked with games writing. Mostly I write Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossovers, with some other genres occasionally.

My second RPG, Diana: Warrior Princess was published in print by Heliograph Inc. in January 2004 and is available from games shops, Amazon, etc., and is now also available as a PDF

As of 2007 I've completed two more gaming projects; I've launched the first Diana; Warrior Princess supplement - it focuses on America and the activities of a wandering musician and gunfighter, in Elvis; The Legendary Tours, and The Original Flatland Role Playing Game, based on Edwin Abbot's classic 19th century book, and sold in aid of Doctors Without Borders. After that I have to catch up with things on my earliest RPG, Forgotten Futures, which is well overdue for another supplement. While I hope to get caught up on my fanfic, updating will continue to be slow for the forseeable future.

Some original SF I wrote for British anthologies in the nineties is at

Series
Summary: Dawn Summers is a mystical energy being made flesh, whose blood can open portals to parallel worlds. The trouble is that she has to be killed to close them. So if her creators wanted the power to be used more than once, they have a bit of a problem. Fortunately there's an obvious solution...

The main story is Bring Me The Head of Harry Potter, a slightly demented multiple crossover including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Angel, Highlander, the Sopranos, and cameos from several other comics and shows. There's also a prelude, Grounds For Divorce, which is a Highlander / Buffyverse crossover. I hope to add more eventually.
