I am a freelance writer and editor, well known for my contributions to the Fighting Fantasy range of adventure gamebooks. I have also written for such diverse properties as Sonic the Hedgehog, Doctor Who, Star Wars and Games Workshop's worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. I am the creator of the alternative steampunk universe of Pax Britannia, and have written eight novels featuring the debonair dandy adventurer Ulysses Quicksilver. As well as my fiction work, I have also written a number of non-fiction books including 'Match Wits with the Kids', 'What is Myrrh Anyway? Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Christmas' and 'YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks'.

Hi Jonathan,
These ITouch gamebooks are really coming along now. It can't be anything but good news for gamebook writers, I'm hoping; a new era of gamebooks for a new generation.
I may be showing some ignorance here, but to my knowledge, you haven't written a gamebook series of your own, set in a world/land created by yourself. Is this something that you envisage doing at some stage?
I write gamebooks myself, and have one published. I like to experiment with different gamebook mechanics, in an attempt to find something "new" that works well.
I haven't really picked up any of the recent FF titles for many years now, but have recently put on hold at my local library, what I think is your most recent work, Night of the Necromancer. I'll be interested to see what it is like. I want to check out Howl of the Werewolf at some stage too, as I have been hearing many comments from others that it rivals Creature of Havoc as the greatest FF. That would be an achivement as Creature of Havoc, in my opinion, took gamebook writing to a new level.
Anyway, thanks for your time.
Jasan.
Hi Jasan
Thanks for your post and apologies for my *very* tardy reply.
You're quite right - I haven't written my own gamebook series yet, although before I wrote my first Fighting Fantasy title I had written to Puffin asking if they'd like to publish a new series of gamebooks. ;-)
Congratulations on having your own gamebook published. You should check out Night of the Necromancer and Howl of the Werewolf - I'm very proud of both of them, and both have been very well received.
I look forward to hearing what you think of them.
Best wishes
Jon
