So… since you asked, some stuff about me.
I wear many hats, sometimes all at once, which makes it hard to get through doors.
This is my space for writing short, humourous pieces about science, life, technology, and parenting, and slightly more serious posts about things like business and the environment. I also write science fiction and fantasy novels, and short stories. You’ll find them here.
From about 2010 to 2020 I maintained a blog about citizen science and I’ve archived those articles for posterity. I’ve written a book about that, and there’s this nifty TEDx talk on it too.
My partner, Terence Johnson (the best British import since the Aston Martin), and I founded Scribendi.com, an award-winning editing and proofreading company, which was acquired in 2017. We currently own Inklyo.com, an online writing courses company, and a fun boardgame cafe called Turns & Tales.
Together we’re raising four children and a couple of dogs. We think they’re pretty awesome, but we might be biased.
If that’s not enough of my ego for one day, you can check out my Press & Publications page.
You might want to consider…
…subscribing to this site. You know, so you don’t miss anything. I don’t sell or share e-mail addresses, by the way. I wouldn’t do that to a friend.
