The writing front

2012 Update: No single skill (or at least area of interest) has shaped my working life more than writing. I began the process early, writing short stories at prep school (Glencot, near Wookey Hole) and reading them out to the other boys when (as some form of monitor) I was meant to be keeping them quiet in our after-lunch rest sessions.

Of these, the books have been the biggest challenge--and have provided the greatest pleasure. My 18th, The Zeronauts: Breaking the Sustainability Barrier, is due out in May 2012.

I have updated the various sub-sections below as best I could, given time pressures, but have missed a fair few things that I will try and add in due course.
