More About the Author

I'll tell you now, there's some truth to Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, so it's probably a good thing that I'm really not a tetchy, alcoholic git. I haven't slept with any ghosts yet either, but hey, never say never. I'm English - with a selection of crunchy European bits - but I've been wandering the world for a few years, for a variety of reasons. At the moment, I'm back living in London.

I suspect I'd feel blind if my intuition ever turned off, and I pride myself on remaining open-minded and kind despite everything. I do have a dark streak - I think it's a fairly common side effect of being reasonably intelligent and well informed - but it's well under control, and there isn't a malicious bone in my body. Which is nice.

When I'm not writing, I like to keep myself amused by exploring, reading, swimming, spending time with friends, watching movies and gigs, gazing at the stars/stormy seas/fires/woodlands/ancient places/&c, and occasionally hacking up the odd pixellated monster or some such. I know Net Fu.

I tend to have all sorts of random questions on my mind. Today, these include:
- Why doesn't Dubai build an underground city complex, given the summer heat out there, and the fact they're building just about everything else? Or if not an Underside, then how about a new Wonder of the World designed to last five thousand years -- a Colossus, say, or a mighty Labyrinth?
- If reincarnation were true, would we need to live our lives in sequential order, or could souls hop around in time?
- How did Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster get such an insanely butch name, and can he live up to it?
- What sort of society would live in a wondrous crystal city powered by the sacrifice of unwilling victims?

In general, I'm interested in just about everything, with the possible exceptions of celebrities and car engines. I've been lucky enough to have some rather strange experiences over the years, which I cherish. Perhaps it's something to do with being a lapsed Anthropologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow., October 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Overseer (Vampire: The Masquerade -- Clan Brujah Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

This book is incredible. After the last book, Slave Ring, I made sure I got a copy of Overseer as soon as I could. I haven't been able to put it down. It's incredible. I'm not going to give any spoilers away or anything, but the book sucks you in, and then just blows you away totally. The action is relentless, the characters are great, the story is awesome, and the ending is just wild, man. I can't believe I have to wait to December to get the last book.

This review is from: The Overseer (Vampire: The Masquerade -- Clan Brujah Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

I didn't think this book was as interesting and intriguing as the first even though I was glad that we spent more time with the twins Theo rescued. Not as many flashbacks as in the first book and these read more distant from the plot. There is also several unclear relationships in the book -- for example who are Adam and David? Ghouls, childer, what? Also I'm not sure I buy how easily lend astray the prince of Minneapolis is and her disrespect for an Archon. Maybe some of my questions will be answered in book three.
