Action Station

This is the action station. What more do you want? We've got content, we've got your questions answered, we've got Virginia Woolf, and we've got a fab Flash Movie. Move over Stephen King.

The books are the best of me. When people ask me why I write I tell them it's what I'm for. It really is as simple as that.

In the following pages you'll find excerpts from all the books, my own view of what they are and how they work, and an easy way to buy them. You don't have to buy them but a little retail therapy won't do any harm in the middle of all this art and life.

I've included a Virginia Woolf mini-site because I recently edited a new edition of her fiction. I wanted to get away from the typical Introduction format and so I chose 2 writers - one a critic and the other a fiction writer or poet to come at each book in their own way. I wanted the introductions to act as doorways into the work, because the only real way into a book is to open it. Never mind the theories or the criticism or the exam questions and the dissertations just open the book.

If there's anything else you fancy, just let me know.
