My name is Anthea Middleton, which is a bit of a weird name, and people often don't believe me. When I was in 6th year in school someone told me it was like a hobbit name though, and that made me happy.

I work as a software developer in a small startup in Edinburgh.

I make electronic things for fun, and if I ever finish any of them and stop adding new features I'll write about it here. I also enjoy aerial acrobatic dance and read lots of sci-fi and detective novels. I'm trying to write my own novel at the moment. It's like this blog but fictional and set partly in space.

You can read a horror short story I wrote called Invite Only here.. If you're really really keen, I had another short story called Manny published in the That Is So Wrong horror anthology. But if you ask nicely I'd probably just send you the story and save you buying the book.

That's me there. Proudly holding a ceramic bowl I painted. So far it has not won any competitions.
