But I'm not just a parasitical critter - I have a creative side too. To make sure this does not seize up, I take photos which are hosted on my Flickr Site and, after a long gap I have returned to committing fiction
In my spare time I teach Media and Cultural Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University.
I'm far too inclined to say yes to projects - see here for Works in Progress - and sometimes it feels that ideas are just bursting out of me. Sometimes it's all I can do to leave the house. Life's like that.
Andrew M. Butler, An Unofficial Companion to the Novels of Terry Prachett
Old Projects and Publications
Pocket Essentials
These are a series of brief books that are packed with fact, opinion and trivia. The Philip K. Dick one is the first one I wrote, and I recently revised it for a second edition - it now discusses Voices from the Street. Cyberpunk was written to a tight deadline, to be simultaneously published with the first Philip K. Dick; of course it leaves much out - it's 96 pages. The Terry Pratchett volume covers the novels of the leading living British fantasy writer, up to and including Thief of Time. I've not been asked to do a second edition (yet), but it would be contractually... awkward. Film Studies is an introduction to the topic, which very rapidly gained a second edition. Postmodernism is perhaps my favourite, co-written with Bob Ford without whom it would have been written alone.
