He's been writing for over ten years now, though mostly in small press, and favours speculative fiction — not least because (having three small children) he mostly writes short works. Recent years have seen his work in Twelfth Planet Press, Andromeda Spaceways, Agog! Press, Ticonderoga Press and a bunch of other like-minded places.
Flinthart's interests, like most writers, are too varied to bother mentioning here, but shortlisting them to martial arts, cooking,
offbeat cinema, animation and glass mosaic-work would be a good start. He's editing an anthology called "Canterbury 2100: Pilgrimages in a new world" for Agog! Press, is training for an advanced ju-jitsu grading, studying Iaido, and has just signed up for a course in fencing. The smart money says Flinthart is certifiably mad. Having no money to speak of, Flinthart laughs at such trifles — albeit somewhat manically.view less
