Originally I'd assume TV programmes such as HE:MAN , Thundercats and Knightmare inspired my imagination along with other classics such as Maid Marian and her merry men and a programme I think was called the odyssey or Ulysses.

Star Wars got me interested in Space and all things similar which was further fueled by Farscape, which really captured my imagination.

My first fantasy reads were the Redwall books, at about age 10 and from there borrowing Star Wars/Star Trek books from the library.

My major influence on reading however was an absolutely fantastic year seven english teacher, who, in his first lesson, read an extract of Lord of the Rings which led to my borrowing of the book and the fantasy I have read to date.
