I write stuff. Lots of stuff. Mostly fantasy, science fiction and horror, although i enjoy mixing and mangling genres as much as possible. 
My books include the superhero/alien invasion trilogy, The Planets. The first book is out on Amazon with the second and third out later this year.
Also out are the first six parts of my science fiction series, A Game of War. The first part, Childhood Dreams, is free when you sign up to my newsletter. http://cairnswrites.com
I'm also a musician and play the drums in a number of bands.
I have a three year old daughter who gets cuter on a daily basis and loves reading. She's watched a grand total of about five hours TV in her entire life. I'm very proud :)
I teach. Music mostly.
I eat chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
I love comics.
I read everything.
