At the age of 14 Shane Dix read Heinlein's short story, "By His Bootstraps," and immediately became obsessed with science fiction (with a preference towards tales of time travel); at the age of 15 he was encouraged to write short stories by his English school teacher, at the age of 21 he read Delany's "Dhalgren" and realised that this was the type of fiction writing hewanted to aspire to; at the age of 30 met Sean Williams and at the age of 40, he no longer focuses solely upon science fiction. Over the years he's have managed to write about two dozen or so short stories. Some of these have even been fortunate enough to have found homes in magazines and/or anthologies, while others have been secreted away in a vault where no-one will ever find them.
