Much of my life has been spent in the martial arts, with emphasis on self-defense rather than competition. I was a diver in Northern Pacific waters for years, learning night diving, mixed gasses and rescue diving. I can mention I once ran a small stable, called Shanachie Stables, raising a few good Connemara Ponies, just as I am now running a very small House, called Shanachie Press, hoping for a few good books. I was overwhelmed by that one, actually, as I think Phillip Dick was a very important writer and I’m glad they thought of me.įor me, now, to describe what I do as a hobby and where I live, is somehow meaningless. Dick Award, which still was a piece of hand-calligraphed paper without a frame. That year I also was granted the inaugural Phillip K.

MacAvoy, although my call-name has always been Bertie.
