MY NEW NOVEL, 'SERIOUS THINGS', IS AVAILABLE NOW IN PAPERBACK. Welcome to my website! Please forgive the accountancy-firm blandness of the design. The white spaces matter less than the black shapes inside them. This site is dedicated to my fiction. Inside you will find the following... THE SHIP OF FOOLS: my first novel, published in 2002. ARTS AND WONDERS followed in 2004. GHOST PORTRAIT sold about 4 copies in 2005. SERIOUS THINGS is out now in paperback. PLANET ACTION, or what I got up to in the jungle. (So long ago now, the links have failed.) LINKS to sites on Bosch and Bruegel: the background to The Ship of Fools. CONTACT. The shortest - & so perhaps the most pleasing - page of all. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please remember that all the material here is under copyright. Apart from the words. I don't own the words. Only the order they come in. INFINITE SPACE - my blog - is up and running. Please come and visit: http://bounded-in-a-nutshell.blogspot.com/ (Author photo: Niall McDiarmid) STOP CLIMATE CHAOS http://www.stopclimatechaos.org/
