Collaborators
This page provides links to the websites of the science fiction writers I’ve collaborated with on short stories and novels over the past few years. Links to their websites can be found to the right.
Tony Ballantyne, is the author of twelve stories published in Interzone, including “Teaching the War Robot to Dance”, “Gorillagram” and “Indecisive Weapons”. His first novel, Recursion, was published by Macmillan Tor in 2004, and he has published three more, since. We’ve collaborated on a Kéthani story “Matthew’s Passion”.
Stephen Baxter is the author of more than fifteen best-selling SF novels, including The Time Ships, Time, Space, and most recently Coalescent. He has written two novels with Arthur C. Clarke, The Light of Other Days and Time’s Eye. Steve was born in Liverpool in 1957 and has a degree from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D from Southampton. He writes cutting-edge SF of the hard variety, his novels and stories packed with wildly imaginative extrapolative speculation.
We’ve written three stories together, “Sunfly” Interzone 100, “The Spacetime Pit” Interzone 107, and “Green-Eyed Monster” Spectrum SF 2.
Keith Brooke, SF novelist, short story writer and archivist, lives in Brightlingsea, Essex. He’s the author of four SF and fantasy novels, Keepers of the Peace, Expatria, Expatria Incorporated and Lord of Stone, as well as a host of varied short stories in markets as diverse as Interzone, Aboriginal SF, Other Edens and Beyond.We’ve collaborated on six short stories: “Appassionata” Interzone 109, “Sugar and Spice” Interzone 112, “Under Antares” Interzone 126, “The Flight of the Oh Carrollian” Interzone 145, “Mind’s Eye” Spectrum SF 1, and the novelette “The Denebian Cycle” Interzone 152. These stories, along with Keith’s “Jurassic and the Great Tree” and my own “A Prayer for the Dead”, were collected in Parallax View, published by the Sarob press in 2000. We’ve also collaborated on an action-adventure SF novel for young adults, Enigma Season. Keith runs the excellent SF archive infinity plus, a repository of fiction from some of the best SF and Fantasy writers working at the moment, along with interviews, reviews and related articles and essays. Under the name of Nick Gifford, Keith has written the popular Piggies, Flesh and Blood, and Like Father.
Michael Coney. I discovered Michael’s lyrical, character-driven novels and short stories in the mid-eighties, among which The Girl with a Symphony in her Fingers, Hello Summer, Goodbye, and Brontomek!, are outstanding. The latter won the BSFA Best Novel award for 1976. Together we wrote “The Trees of Terpsichore Three”, published in Spectrum SF 8. It turned out to be his last published story: Mike passed away on November 4th 2005.
Josh Lacey lives in London. He was born in 1968. Together we’ve written film-scripts, film and TV treatments.
