James Evans lives in South Wales in the UK. He graduated in Law from Bristol University but ended up in semiconductors and software engineering. He lives with his partner and six young cats.
His Science Fiction inspirations are the Galactic Empires of the far future brought to life by Asimov and Frank Herbert, writers equally inspired by the classical world and the Roman Empire. If you are going to think, might as well think as big as you can...
For a lighter read he enjoys the Roman novels of Harry Sidebottom, Lindsey Davis and M.C. Scott, and the fantasy/SF of Robert Jordan, Sarah Monette (the excellent Melusine quadrology - he would like another decalogy!), Marion Zimmer Bradley (yes, Darkover), Lynn Flewelling, Eddings, Sarah Ash and others. Once every century he is even lucky enough to read a new book by G R R Martin, although he is not a great fan of murder, rape, war, torture and pestilence.Â
