Norfolk is a long way away from anywhere, and if I were you, I shouldn't start from here. By the time you get to the outskirts of Cromer, any distinctions between science, beachcombing, social commentary, writing and animal husbandry have started to blur. When the process is complete, you know you've arrived at the End Of The Pier Show. So, welcome. Find somewhere to park your unicycle. Pull up a girrafe chair. Make yourself comfortable.

By night, the writing never stops. As well as being a featured columnist for BBC Focus magazine, he is working on several book projects. These include a popular-science book about human evolution (this week's working title - The Myth Of Progression: On The Tangled Bank of Darwin's Imagination); a projected new edition of his 1996 graduate-level text Before The Backbone; a palaeo book for kids and maybe a graphic novel (both with Luis V. Rey); a massive SF bonkbuster; and a kids' book calledDefiant The Guinea-Pig: Firefighter! (with his younger daughter, Crox Minima). An active Tolkienist, he is the Editor of Mallorn, the Journal of the Tolkien Society.
He lives in Cromer, Norfolk, England, with his family and numerous pets, and enjoys playing blues organ, beachcombing, supporting Norwich City FC, and falling asleep.
He is represented by Jill Grinberg Literary Management LLC, and that's where all inquiries about sole-author book projects should be directed in the first instance.
