mistake ends chains
Fatal accidents never happen because of just one mistake. It takes a whole chain of stupids lining up just so to put a full stop at the end of an epitaph.
atheist reform british
I'm an atheist .I was raised in British reform Judaism, which is not like American reform Judaism, much less any other strain of organised religion. So: no cults here.
awards style trying
For a sampler, you could try my short story collection "Wireless". Which contains one novella that scooped a Locus award, and one that won a Hugo, and covers a range of different styles.
crazy dots steam
The late 90s were crazy science-fictional if you were inside the superheated steam bubble of the dot-com 1.0 industry.

I'm not planning a kickstarter game. And I'm not really a game designer.
age pay time-is-money
I've reached an age at which I'd rather pay more for something that "just works" than roll up my sleeves, reach for a spanner, and make it work. Time is money, and the older we get the less of it we've got left.

low paranormal urban
I have a low taste for urban fantasy and paranormal romance.
human imagined
Fiction is the study of the human condition under imagined circumstances.
human people turns virtual
It turns out that the killer application for virtual reality is other human beings. Build a world that people want to inhabit, and the inhabitants will come.
