I only live part-time on Earth; for the past three and a half decades much of my spare time has been spent in my constructed world, Kalieda. In this world, I have learned to be a benificent and bountiful God, populating the place with a paradise-worth of landscapes and lifeforms to go alongside the various civilisations and societies that have grown up there. Since 1998 I have spent an unhealthy amount of time transferring Kalieda to the web. The Kalieda Encyclopaedia is the gateway for visitors to come and experience this world, with maps, descriptions, histories and languages peppered haphazardly across the site. The Encyclopaedia is a form of living book, subjected to regular review and improvement. The Kalieda novels, starting with 'The Gods in the Jungle', are intended to be a second gateway into the Kalieda world, offering people glimpses of the world through stories based on the histories and mythologies of the people who live in that world. The Kalieda novels can be thought of as the 'bottom-up' complement to the Encyclopaedia's 'top-down' approach to displaying my world to the Real World; each (novel and website) is the equal to the other.
