I am the author of the 5-volume fantasy series, The Windsmith Elegy, which ‘Hyperion: tower of the winds’ is based upon. I’ve also turned it into a prog-rock musical, and two book tours! ‘Moon Miner’ is based on my novel, ‘Black Box’, which won a national SF manuscript competition and has been adapted into an audio drama. I’m interested in exploring ecological themes through imaginative fiction. Based in southern England, I’m a senior lecturer in creative writing at an arts university by day. I blog and tweet as the Bardic Academic.
