Welcome to the cheap seats

Despite bemoaning the countless terabytes of useless non-information out there in web-land these days, I've gone and got myself a blog. Think of it as vanity publishing, if you like.

To semi-justify my electronic presence, I am determined that this blog will provide information of a sort, i.e. I will provide you with some facts. The first one has already been implied, but for those of you who missed it:

Fact 1: I am, like so much of the rest of the human race, a hypocrite.

The vigilant among you will have gleaned another fact along the way, too:

Fact 2: I am given to circumlocution, and have a fondness for tangential asides.

That said, I fully intend to write something snappy and concise at least once a week for your delectation. Those poor souls currently participating in the long drawn-out serialisation of my second novel will be able to warn you that what you're likely to get is something verbose at irregular intervals.

Which brings me to the last fact to be flashed at you in metaphorical neon lettering, after which you'll have to dig them out for yourself:

Fact 3: I am a writer.
