BioFlushed with success in the intergalactic llama-herding championship, Terry went from strength to strength until calamity struck. Who would have thought a hydraulically-powered knee gromit could shatter a man's eyeball in such a devastating manner? Passers-by and even journalists were stunned into speechlessness by the bizarre nature of the accident. Consequently, it never made the front page.

Back in the real world - I'm currently doing a PhD at Manchester University, my subject area being literacy in the ancient world, specifically Greece in the period 600-200BC. This will probably turn into a long and (to everyone else) tedious study of Athenian secretaries, but we'll see.
Before this, I worked as a technical writer for various IT firms in and around London for 18 years. I'm also FtM, which adds that extra level of complexity to life in general.
I've been known to write for fun, though not for a few years now. I'm interested in Sci-fi, and crime shows, though I'm currently without a TV. I'm a fan of walking, real ale, and reading.
