front archive cast glossary about bio

 

My name is Jo.

Hi and welcome to my little corner of the Internet.

I write, draw, philosophise, drink coffee, ferment trouble and have odd conversations on MSN.

I also love science fiction, black-and-white movies, webcomics, really good books, classic adventure games, good RPGs, soundtracks, and most things in between.

I live in Leicester, UK. No longer. I currently live in Austin, TX.

My big love is storytelling and I have a couple of projects on the go apart from Nones.

That's about it for me.

Oh, wait: I'm no longer job hunting because I now have a kickass one and attempts to lure me away are likely to fail miserably.

 

Current stuff:

I'm currently writing for a games company in Austin. Very hard work. Lots of fun.

**Shadow - novel, MA in Writing major project, HANDED IN18/01/08. Third draft completed, 100, 566 words.

Nones - online serial written and illustrated (badly), ongoing (the thing you're on now)

Defender - sci-fi, short stories / possible novel or miniseries - ongoing, character dev and arc outlining

Ship of Fools - little personal story for fun and practice

 

Stuff on hiatus:

Another Place - ten-minute script, COMPLETED. In production stage (over in Canada). May be going to festival in September!

Cut By Dust - screenplay, second draft complete, third draft under consideration

Ravinstaft - short novel, planned

 

... in other words, I'm a busy panda.

 

Interests:

Including, but not limited to:

Archaeology, psychology, ancient history, anthropology, language, politics, astronomy, martial arts, philosophy, physics, biology, myths and legends, gaming, literature, religion, art, heroes, movies, weaponry, sciences...

...yeah, I subscribe to the idea that 'anything that interests is interesting'.
