About me:
My name's Jon Courtenay Grimwood, I write novels, occasionally weird ones... Until recently I wrote a column for the Guardian, these days I'm writing for SFX, the Telegraph review section and a couple of other papers and magazines. I was born in Malta and grew up in the Far East, Scandinavia and Malta again. I'm happiest on planes (which isn't great, given global warming).
Who I'd like to meet:
Buddha, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Johnny Thunders, Joan of Arc, Gilles de Rays, Haruki Murakami, Pablo Neruda, William Gibson, Gene Wolfe, you get the picture...

Ho, hey, that's great news, I'll look out for the book. Got a title yet?
I have a few favourite writers where I read every book of theirs, and you are one of them. It's a thing of liking to dive into their world. Sometimes I'm miffed when I finish a book, because it's like having to leave that world. In case you want to know, the company you are in: Neal Stevenson, Neil Gaiman, Charles Stross, Richard Morgan, Roger Zelasny, Ursula Le Guin, Sherri Tepper, William Gibson. There are more, like all the classic S.F., but these, incl. you, are it, over the last years. I have to mention that prolific Math prof., John D. Barrow, even though that's straight Science.
Anyway, don't want to bother you with my personal opinions and preferences.
Yours

I'd like to know if you are working on a new book, I could do with a good read (no pressure, just asking).

Most people disagree with me about the tomatoes.

I choose to let them, because I know I'm right.

I started with redRobe when I found it on a sale table, and couldn't resist finding more. I love your books.

Nice to see you on here Jon. Thanks for having a chat with me many years ago about William Gibson's novels, upstairs in what was then Granny Pasties. I finally finished my PhD in 2007. I'm now officially a doctor of post/cyberpunk! Your encouragement back in the beginning really helped.

Hi
Great to connect like this after having read (and enjoyed) all your books.
So... thanks, and may you never run out of inspiration.

Thanks for the add, Jon. My deadlines are self-imposed at this point and therefore easily ignored... With any luck, I'll have a taskmaster before the year is out. ;o)

Hi there, thanks for the add! You're the only 'celebrity' Myspace I've ever added. And thanks for the message- brightened my day no end!

Anyway, I'm a big fan, started with Pashazade, then 9Tail fox, last year, and now I'm rounding off the trilogy. And it's utterly, scarily fantastic.

Out of interest, will you be around at orbital next march, to sign books? It's my first con, incidently.

I’m a big fan of your work. I loved “reMix,” and “Redrobe,” and I’m reading “Pashazade” now. Good stuff!
