TROUBLED WATERS
The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide To Dawson's Creek
120,000 word episode guide to about Dawsons' Creek, published by Virgin Books, examining each episode in exhaustive detail. Intended as an aide memoir or a toilet book - reading it in one go is not recommended! Has now been translated into French.
UNCHARTED TERRITORY
The Unofficial And Unauthorised Guide to Farscape100,000 word episode guide to the best sci-fi show on telly at the moment. A real labour of love.
The show was, naturally, cancelled the very week the book came out stateside, goddamit.

I am the regular reviewer of the TV show Jeremiah for TV Zone. First season episode reviews appeared in issues 150, 151, 153 & 155. Second season episode reviews appeared in issues 170, 173, 174 and 175.
I wrote a 3000 word cover feature article on Farscape for issue 153.
Uncharted Territory was reviewed in 154 and got 8/10. The reviewer said it was 'pretty frelling good, really'.

Starburst
The longest running Sci-Fi mag in the UK, I think. A real thrill to write for, as I'd been reading it since I was a kid.

Previews of Eight Legged Freaks, Star Trek: Nemesis and Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones.
Cover Article - The Chosen Ones, 3500 words on why Buffy is so damn good. Except for Season Six, which mostly sucks....
Film Review Special
A quarterly magazine affiliated with Film Review. Each issue has a particular theme.
My own list of Top ten Worst War Films. Got me into all sorts of trouble with the Scots for nominating Braveheart!
Unbreakable review; Iron Fist, Judge Dredd, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen previews. Spoofs feature.
2,500 word article about sequels, and my own personal Top 10 Worst Sequels of all time.
A whopping 10,000 words on my personal choice of the Top 50 Fantasy Films of all time.
Lots of previews
of summer movies....

Movie Idols

...
A complete, unpublished 22 page story from Marvel's defunct 2099 range....
I've written loads of disposable news stories for Top of the Pops, far too many to link to here. I have conducted interviews with the likes of Adam Duritz from Counting Crows, Robert Palmer, Alvin Stardust and Mungo Jerry. You can also read some of my pieces, such as my Top 5 Drug Songs and Top 5 Singing Drummers.

Poland
In 97 I wrote a really embarassingly bad article about teaching in Poland for a small Seattle publisher, and it appeared online. Thankfully it disappeared soon after. But they did produce a book for prospective teachers that was illustrated with many of my photos. Now I find three of those pics have turned up here. How they got there I have no clue, but they acknowledge me on their contributor page. Which is nice.
