Steve Whitmore

My fantasy comes bundled with plenty of width to make up for the absence of height. Shallow suburban stuff is where I'm at, with the occasional interstellar sci-fi crisis spooned into the mix alongside dredgings from the swamp of myth. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's dark -- mostly it's both at the same time. As a smallster I preferred writing words to reading them. Truth be told, I just got sick of books which ended all wrong. Most of my influences therefore have very little to do with literature. Comics full of pictures, I like, plus all the weirdly normal people who populate streets and buses and shops. That's pretty much your lot: I'm a simpleton. In the moments twixt lark and supper I write stuff for other people and maraud on the fringes of academia. The rest of the time I ponder the kid/companion conundrum of domestic sub-bliss, proudly boasting an Overjoyed Demeanour Graft.
