David Wyatt
Fantastically talented illustrator of my Lex Trent books.
Kustaa Saksi
The artist who does my wonderful Gollancz covers.
Fellow writers
David Devereux
Exorcist, writer, chef, and more. So far there doesn’t appear to be anything the man can’t do.
Jaine Fenn
Very talented author who graciously allowed me to gatecrash her writing group, and introduced me to the wonders of sci-fi conventions.
Joe Abercrombie
Legend tells of a legendary author whose writing skills were the stuff of legend…
Sam Sykes
Freakishly tall American writer of freakishly large (and extremely entertaining) books. Claims to be able to bench press a rhinoceros, but has yet to prove it to me.
Stephen Deas
Supreme Overlord of dragon books at Gollancz. He is – The Dragonman (but not like the one in Mr Sykes’ book).
Suzanne McLeod
One of the three Princesses of Fantasy Fiction (the other two being me and Jaine) and a lovely lady to boot.
Tom Lloyd
Writer of some cracking good books with lots of battles and blood and dragons and stuff.
Alternative Boo Teek
The best selection of unique, quirky, ghoulish jewellery (and other stuff) that I have ever seen.
Beyond Skin
Proving shoes can be beautiful and ethical.
Capers Restaurant
My most favourite local restaurant. Lovely staff, reasonable prices, Jaffa drizzle cake, penny farthing shaped pizza cutters and THIRTEEN vegetarian starters. You can’t go wrong with this place, folks.
Flipkart
The place to go if you’re in India and you want to buy my books.
Pad
A veritable Aladdin’s cave of all that is retro, funky and oh-so-cool.
PETA
The reason I went vegetarian, and later veganish.
