20 years in the counterculture working at Rough Trade Record Shop, now working in freedom of expression NGO world. I hope my books are more than just the sum of the above. I used to be a playwright, but then started writing more for dancers and physical theatre performers. I like a challenge and I like to move out of my comfort zone. Now

I'm quite a political author, I've written about people who seek to change the world and they do not pursue their aims with a pen believe you me! Writers hold no power other than the ability to transport a reader through their imagination. Now if a writer were able to do that to millions simultaneously, then you might have a force for change. Or you might have "50 Shades Of Grey" which had millions of women all imagining the same sexual fantasies as written by the author. I found that a bit disturbing but there you go. Good luck to the author!(less)

On a macro-scale, AI will replace ALL jobs so that we need to gear up for a post-employment world, given that many folk's identities are wrapped up in their jobs. They are going to be left bereft with unemployment unless they start doing the processing work NOW. Lockdown gave us an inkling towards this. But it means we can all move into a leisure lifestyle, in which artists can make art to challenge the authenticity of AI generated art.

As to me as a writer, I have had one of my 13 books fed into the AI training matrix. Good luck reproducing/cloning my work. neologisms will always stymie AI. So will wordplay. So will words that have more than one shade of meaning and which I use deliberately to offer that ambiguity. Etymology of words, whereby the current meanings have decayed from the original etymological root. I hold no fear of any challenge to me from AI generated work. I can't speak for other writers however. (less)

Deep In The Woods Flash Fiction

Went a bit morbid for New Year's Friday Flash, so have gone for a bit of knockabout humour this week. My one and only venture into Fantasy.



Once upon a time, not that long ago, well really rather recently - and actually it happened on more than the one occasion, at least thrice that I can think of, in fact if you look on a map of the world I bet you can find some place where it's happening right n Read more of this blog post »
