Shaun A.J. Hamilton – an introduction.

(I was going to amend this introduction, but Andrew Hook, editor of the British Fantasy Society’s New Horizons Magazine kindly commented on how refreshing it was, so it’s staying put.)

Morning, and welcome to my website.

Right, that’s the formalities dealt with...

There will be those wondering what I have done that’s so brilliant that I deserve my own website. Well, the answer is simple: more than some, less than others. I’m not a world leader, a life saver or a great inventor, but neither am I a dosser sitting on his arse all day, filling his head with Jeremy Kyle and other such inane warbling (I usually Sky Plus these and watch them when I get home from work).

The reason I have this website is because I am an extremely frustrated architect who wants to be a well-renowned, well-revered (and well paid) author. The trouble is, because the publishing world is such a swine to infiltrate, I need to get noticed – hence the website.

So come on in, have a look round, have a read, find out more about me and even leave a comment or two if you feel the need. Within these dark pages, you’ll find out what makes me tick (you poor people), what upsets me and what I’m like as a writer (I know self-praise is no praise, but I’m sure your opinion will be as glowing as my own). So go for broke, but don’t say I didn’t warn you… (Speaking of warnings, these pages are filled with adult-based material, so if you’re under 18 or easily offended, go away!!)
