About the author

Ian was found in 1976, in a silk chrysalis on top of Glastonbury Tor, England. Nearby was an illustrated horoscope, which indicated that he had been born (or possibly hatched) on July 11th of that year; and a note which read simply: "changeling do not disturb". He was delivered to social services who arranged for him to be adopted.

He was educated at St Frodoberts School for the severely bemused, but ran away at the age of 16, to join the Space Cadets. Soon after, during routine training, he became separated from the rest of his squadron, and was marooned on the dark side of the moon, where he remained for several months surviving on a diet of clangers and mash.

Eventually, his distress flares were spotted by a travelling sales team from the star system of Vega. The Vegans took him to a remote part of Devon, England where they could land their craft without attracting too much attention. It was there that he discovered a previously unknown tribe of hunter gatherers, whom he lived with and studied for about a year. The tribe initiated him into their most secret ceremonies, and conferred upon him the honorary title of "Pignut", the name of one of their most valued food plants *.

He now spends most of his time exploring time, space and his own head to research this site. He can be contacted by pigeon post, telepathy, email (driansanders[at]yahoo.com) or through the guestbook.
