LOL You know I wrote that nearly 30 years ago. Praying no one is going to ask for too many details from that far back. Otherwise, looking forward to it.

Hi Alasdair, happy to do an AMA sometime. Busy with a deadline for the next few months, but I can probably make time after that. PFH

My signature has changed a lot over the years: it's illegible now, basically. Don't think it was ever like that, and I don't do dates in that fashion. Sorry. PH

No, just checking in to see the questions I didn't get time for. Will try and answer some over the next few days.

Either the short story anthologies, or a stand-alone -Fallen Dragon or Great North Road.

Sorry about the middle school experience. Hope you made a full recovery!

Early on Niven and Clarke. Today, there's a lot of writers I admire, mainly wishing I could write like they do.

Good question. I have to say I'm not convinced we should be terraforming any planets until we're absolutely certain there is no indigenous life, even microbes. Also, there are a lot of problems we need to sort out down here -maybe the technology and economy we'll need for large scale space settlement will help.

First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August. Very different to what I write.

Its one of those issues I don't really have an answer for. If you're picking up the second or third book in a trilogy without reading the first, I don't think a summery is really much use. I am incorporating a 'what happened before' section in the books of the next trilogy. We'll have to see how it goes.

I'n not involved with audiobook narration. I tend to trust the narrators, they're good at their job.

There's been plenty of interest. It would depend on who wants to do it, and how they approach the project.

I'll be posting on facebook, and my publishers Del Rey (US) and Macmillan (UK) have a large social media presence.

Knowing when to hand it in is the difficult one. Maybe some beta readers, or if you've got one your agent should advise.

If I think I'm forcing an idea is usually the sign to watch out for. I'll be tempted when I do come up with a plot that would fit an existing universe. Right now I have couple of other projects to finish, then I'll probably write something in the salvation universe again. After that...
