Welcome

I am Clive Anthony and I live on the south coast of England, writing when I can, working when I have to, reading all the time.

My reading and writing passions are fantasy and sci-fi. This means escapism and entertainment, but also the chance to explore various themes or issues in life. I write the type of story I like to read.

In fantasy I am interested in different models of magic and my preference is for a subtle and realistic approach as far as possible. In Wildmind the magic is a power exerted by the mind, and it has no residual effect, there are no spells or magic swords.

In sci-fi I’m currently interested in how meeting alien races would go. If they find us would they be saviours or conquerors? And if we found them – which would we be?

On a different note, I also love photography. The images on this site and those used in my book covers are my own work.

Find me on Facebook I’d love to know what you think.

Joyful distraction

Great writers inspire me to read, poor writers motivate me to write. So I have to admit that thanks to Robin Hobb’s Fool’s Assassin,  progress has slowed with Mindmage – the sequel to Wildmind. If you haven’t encountered Fitz and the Fool, start at the beginning, with Assassin’s Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy, Book 1) and wend… Continue reading Joyful distraction
