Born in Portugal, I have lived most of my life in Scotland. A degree in mathematics barely distracted me from world-building projects; a passion that led into designing computer games. Other science fiction games occupied me until I turned, for more than ten years, to writing The Stone Dance of the Chameleon. I have been busy since with a range of projects: graphic novels, more fantasy and sci-fi work, and a historical novel that I have set aside for now. After releasing the Second Edition of my Stone Dance books, I returned to writing a science fiction novel that is about AI, ecology and mythology

Research into areas that interest me, and the connections that make sense of the world, spill in bursts onto my blog hermitabroad
