About A.J. Noon

Now living back in the Portsmouth (UK) area, which is far too flat for my rambling tastes, and trying to juggle the balls that will give me the writing time I want.

Managed to retire from I.T. to work on my writing, and you can find me in the Historic Dockyard, in particular on HMS Victory - come and see me if you want some tales.

Favourite authors (in no particular order) include Jeff Noon (no relation), Raymond E. Feist, Tolkein, Peter F. Hamilton, Philip K. Dick, Larry Niven, William Gibson, H.P. Lovecraft, James Herbert, John Wyndham and Terry Pratchett.
