Alan Atkinson

Alan Michael Atkinson is from North Queensland, Australia. He grew up on a remote cattle property and attended boarding school for his higher education. Now living in the largest city north of Brisbane, he has been by turns a Chinese food delivery driver, a taxi driver and a security guard. He likes to read and plays tabletop roleplaying games when he can.

He’s met both Felicia Day (Buffy, Dollhouse, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), and has the photos to prove it. He also has a replica of Sting (the Lord of the Rings sword, not the singer) hanging on his wall.

A straight, white, middle-aged man from a moderately privileged background, he aspires to be an ally.

His favorite authors include Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Terry Pratchett, Lee Child, Lois McMaster Bujold, J R R Tolkein, Andre Norton, P G Wodehouse, John C ‘Wildbow’ McCrae and Karen Buckeridge.
