rescued from facebook (10)

2020.05.05 : Zoonosis II
Electric Boogaloo

Raising and killing animals for food is the leading cause of emerging diseases and pandemics, and we need to stop doing it. Also, you do not need to take my word for it...... (read more)

2020.03.14 : Zoonosis

3 in 4 emerging diseases are zoonotic - meaning they transferred over from animal species to humans. And virtually all of those are in the context of animal agriculture - raising and killing animals for food.... (read more)

2019.07.16 : The Floor of Vileness

Well, once again, Trump has gone blasting through a previously unimaginable floor of vileness. After mocking a disabled reporter, attacking the bereaved parents of a fallen serviceman, bragging about multiple sexual assaults on tape, and his defense of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, it was impossible to imagine being shocked by anything - and yet this one left my jaw scraping the floor....

2019.05.13 : The Skye Trail

The Skye Trail is a challenging, unofficial - i.e. un-waymarked - long-distance (128km) route, aimed at experienced hillwalkers, which takes in some of the finest landscapes on the celebrated Isle of Skye, and indeed in the whole of the UK. Skye itself, I can report - aside from let's call it a little challenging to get to, and from - is just absurdly beautiful; and its people are beyond ridiculously lovely and kind.... (read more)

2017.03.04 : How I Tackle Story Design

"I'd love to hear about how you tackle story design, something you talk a lot about..."... (read more)

2017.02.26 : Three High Passes of Everest
(Short Version)

Since there's zero chance of me producing proper dispatches of the Nepal trek until after I've finished this little series of books I'm working on, herewith a few highlight photos (republished, i.e. rescued, from facebook) with brief commentary.... (read more)

2016.10.16 : Feel the Johnson!
You Must Feel the Johnson!

"I wholeheartedly agree with Donald Trump in his number-one issue in this campaign; and I wholeheartedly agree with Clinton in her number-one issue in this campaign: DON'T vote for Hillary Clinton... and DON'T vote for Donald Trump." - Governor Gary Johnson... (read more)

2015.07.11 : ARISEN Update

There's been rather a flood of inquiries about Book Nine, so a brief update: Work continues daily (i.e. seven days a week) at a blistering (and occasionally back-breaking) pace. It's way, way closer to being done than it was two months ago. But, as always, it's not done until it's amazing. ... (read more)

2015.06.26 : Equality

"Until gay marriage is legalized, a fundamental element of personal dignity will be denied a whole segment of humanity. No other change can achieve it."... (read more)

2013.11.28 : A Cruelty-Free Thanksgiving

Fabulous cruelty-free Thanksgiving spreads from master chefs (along with no cancer and heart disease, or environmental destruction); versus 50 million horror-movie deaths. The choice is yours! :)... (read more)

Dispatch from the Razor's Edge is owned and operated by novelist, technologist, vegan, exercise junkie, classical liberal, rambler, and Londoner Michael Stephen Fuchs.

Fuchs is the author of the novels The Manuscript and Pandora's Sisters, both published worldwide by Macmillan in hardback, paperback and all e-book formats (and in translation); the D-Boys series of high-tech, high-concept, spec-ops military adventure novels – D-Boys, Counter-Assault, and Close Quarters Battle (coming in 2016); and is co-author, with Glynn James, of the bestselling Arisen series of special-operations military ZA novels. The second nicest thing anyone has ever said about his work was: "Fuchs seems to operate on the narrative principle of 'when in doubt put in a firefight'." (Kirkus Reviews, more here.)

Fuchs was born in New York; schooled in Virginia (UVa); and later emigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he lived through the dot-com boom. Subsequently he decamped for an extended period of tramping before finally rocking up in London, where he now makes his home. He does a lot of travel blogging, most recently of some very long walks around the British Isles. He's been writing and developing for the web since 1994 and shows no particularly hopeful signs of stopping.
