about me

Hello Readers, it’s Leo here: Author, Artist, Activist, Astronomer, Adventurer and Professional Daydreamer! I hope you are all enjoying the show? It can be very drafty here in my Lion’s Den at Mount Pleasant Sorting Office at this time of year. Now and Then, through Painted Windows, I can see the caterpillars pass above my island frequented by bumblebees! They are daydream doodles we’d all rather forget as the Empires of the future are Empires of the mind. I am the Great Pretender, adrift in a World of my own. Imagination is Everything! In fact, writing has always been a passion of mine. Apart from devising bizarre adventures during my childhood, my first taste of formal prose came when I started writing articles for my student union newspaper. Later in life I branched out into technical copy writing as a profession, but short stories and novellas have always been my first true love (writing-wise anyway). I love many genres, but surrealism and fantasy/sci-fi always feature prominently. When I write, in my mind I think of my stories as films and I even mentally put the soundtrack into the scenes, so my next avenue of exploration is naturally into making films. Journey to the Last Horizon with me! Dream, Imagine, Create! Dreadnought, hard to starboard! Nec aspera terrent!
