Actually, he started as a journalist - and wrote a bio of Doug Adams & 
the Hitch-Hiker's Guide series back in 1986 or 1987. I have a copy of it 
that I used in a school paper circa 1987 and it's one of my prized 
books!

I've been a fan of his ever since and it's one of the reasons my husband 
of 11 years wanted to date me when we first met - because I owned 
Gaiman's novel with Pratchett, Good Omens.
