John Bowker

Depending on the day and my mood I’m many things. For the purposes of this blog however I’m mostly a writer working in fiction with the odd non-fiction piece thrown into the mix.  My work has appeared in various science fiction and fantasy publications as well as the occasional alternative weekly in print and online.  In terms of editorship I’ve worked as an Associate Fiction Editor at Ideomancer Magazine but these days you’ll find me at my own publishing project, Orthogonal.
