I now live and work back in West Yorkshire, county of my birth, but having studied Chinese at university, I lived in China in the 1980s, and since then have lived in Germany and Japan (7 years in Hiroshima). I think this has had an impact on my writing; within the SF genre, I'm more interested in different cultures than technology, and I love developing alien languages and then dropping odd words into the text.
Lately I've been focusing more on the cultures on this planet, and have an historical novel coming out March 2025, which I hope will be the first of many.
