關於作者
I’ve had a lifelong love of science fiction. I grew up watching TV shows like Logan’s Run and Buck Rogers, Blake’s 7, and Doctor Who (this was in the ’70s and Tom Baker will always be my Doctor). Doctor Who was a particular favorite of mine and it was the spin-off books that were largely responsible for helping me to learn to read. I certainly developed a lifelong love of reading as a direct result of spending so much time with these books.
It’s really a love of reading that inspired me to start the long process of curating, editing and narrating collections of science fiction stories. My love of reading encompasses two distinct forms. As well as the insular pleasure of reading to oneself, I also really enjoy reading aloud. One of the plus sides of being a parent is the opportunities for reading aloud that bedtime stories provide. Once you get past the repetitive tedium of rhyming picture books and start to explore more complex narratives, as a reader as well as a narrator, it becomes far more enjoyable. Reading books aloud to my children gave me the opportunity to enjoy a wider range of literature than I otherwise would. It was something that I found myself missing when they grew too old of bedtime stories and would rather spend their time absorbed in Youtube videos on their phones and tablets.
It was really the desire to continue to read aloud that eventually led me to start recording myself reading.
