Author Interview: Simon Petrie
Simon wrote "Three-Horned Dilemma", a story about a man with a triceratops problem. It appears in our summer issue.
Q: What's the best thing you've read recently?
A: My left brain reckons Nova Swing by M. John Harrison, but my right brain would go for Simon Haynes' Hal Spacejock.
Q: What motivates you to write science fiction or horror?
A: Long lists of other things I really should be doing.
Q: What do you hope the future will be like?
A: Inhabited, but some days I wonder ...
Q: What's lurking under your bed?
A: From the looks of it, a dust bunny stud farm.
Q: Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of writing and sf/horror?
A: I'm interested in (and have done research in) "astrochemistry", which sounds like sf but is probably even stranger. I also have an unhealthy interest in obscure Sixties rock groups.
Q: Do you have a website you'd like our readers to see?
A: Not a proper 'Simon Petrie' website, no. I'm a member of the Andromeda Spaceways publishing co-op, which is at http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/.
