about me

After completing a psychology degree, Ministry Fox realised that he was profoundly misanthropic and set about travelling the world looking for aliens to take him to another planet.
Unable to speak any foreign languages and almost incapable of holding a conversation in his own, he decided to teach English as a foreign language because this was the only job that would allow him to travel widely without any marketable skills or noticeable intelligence.
He has unsuccessfully searched for life from outer space in classrooms in the following countries: Spain, China, Russia, Thailand, Hong Kong, the UAE, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Vietnam, Oman and France. He currently lives in Hong Kong with his patient and long-suffering wife.
He plans to continue his search for alien life forms and would be most obliged if any aliens reading this would spirit him off to an altogether more exotic planet in an altogether more harmonious dimension.

What has he written?

He has written two novels (‘The Screen’ and ‘Letters from the Ministry’), a novella (‘The Inaction Man’), a book of short stories (‘Boots’) and three books on travel writing on India, China and Vietnam, but they have proven impossible thus far to sell to publishers, and so Ministry Fox has been forced to place them in POD limboland.

How way we know his words?

Links to these books can be found on this website and purchased for a nominal sum. You will also find links to about 25 pieces of writing that have appeared online, mainly travel writing and short stories; and one of them, The Interactive Classroom, won a Bewildering Stories Mariner Award in 2010.

Have there been any visual sightings?

Videos of the fox’s peregrinations may also be found on this site.

What does the future hold?

The Ministry Fox has just finished his latest novel, Kev the Vampire, and is attempting to sell it to publishers.

How may we communicate with the Dark Site?

ASS (Alien Short Stories)

Phillip Donnelly

"We must take this strange human talent to our home world where his insights would be appreciated." APE (Alien Press Enterprises)


A series of 13 short stories, all in some way incorporating an alien thread, these short stories set out to explore the human condition with the aid of a little alien perspective. Some are comic, such as the misadventures of Vivacious Drizzlybum and her sexual attraction machine or the wildly inaccurate observations of alien journalists on Earth in The Journalist and The Birthday Manifesto. Other stories deal with the paranoia and insanity that is such a part of 21’st century man’s everyday existence (The Screen, and The Man Who Knew). The book also contains the more traditional science fiction in stories like The Vampire Wars and The Ghost Hunter, and the ubiquitous post-apocalyptic world so beloved of science fiction authors in The Fall. There’s even a love story of sorts in The Mission”.

 

China-Me and the Dragon

Phillip Donnelly

A humorous description of a month-long journey through China.


Join the author on his month-long journey from Macao to Beijing: from the hi-tech metropolis of Hong Kong to old Llasa, from the pollution of Chengdu to the pristine beauty of Yangshuo, from the tomb of the First Emperor to the new model city of Zhuhai. Join him on a journey through time, from China’s past to its present and even its future. Join him on a journey through his own mind and its struggle to come to terms with the Land of the Dragon. Having previously lived and worked in China, the author returns two years later to travel around it. His Brysonesque musings and mental meanderings bring the reader with him as he travels through 'the middle kingdom'. This book can also be bought in dead tree format and there are several videos on you tube and photos as well. See my website for more information: www.phillipdonnelly.net

 

The InAction Man IAM

Phillip Donnelly

Inaction Man, a 21’st century Superhero, lives as a bum on the streets of Paris, defending humanity despite itself.


Inaction Man, a 21’st century Superhero, lives as a bum on the streets of Paris, defending humanity against the Forces of Evil and the Dark Lords who control them. .He possesses the gift of Sight, allowing him to see things that don’t exist, and superhuman powers of inaction, enabling him to do nothing for a very long time.
Together with his assistant, The Symbol, and the world’s second great superhero, The Illogical Woman, he battles the dark pan-dimensional forces that surround us but go unseen by we mere mortals; lost and ossified as we are, in the fatal fog of routine.
