About the Author

Peter Watts

This is awkward and a little creepy. They tell me I have to do it for promotional purposes, but I've already got a blog. I've already got a website. Being told that setting up an author page on fcuking *Amazon* is essential to success? A company that treats us all like such goddamn children it doesn't even allow us to correctly spell an epithet with a venerable history going back 900 years or more? That just sucks the one-eyed purple trouser eel.Still, here I am. But if you're really all that interested, go check out my actual blog/website. Google is not your friend (any more than Amazon is) , but at least it'll point you in the right direction.I'm the one on the left, by the way.
