About meI'm a technical writer who occasionally moonlights as an academic. Academically, I'm an ex-medievalist who converted to early 20th-century literary history; I wrote my PhD thesis on the historiography of Imagism. I live by my mad XML skills.

I like cult fantasy TV, interactive fiction and CRPGs, walking, cooking and, of course, hunting for books.

About my libraryMostly secondhand (Oxfam is my favourite bookseller). At the moment, the working library for my PhD is a big chunk of the catalogue. I'm slowly unearthing and adding my older books.

As well as reference texts on Imagism, I collect first/interesting editions by or relating to the Imagist writer Richard Aldington.

The leisure reading portion of the library is mostly YA lit and fantasy.
