Career

Remic was first published in 2003 through Orbit Books with his fast-paced action SF thriller, Spiral, and has since written over twenty novels including the Clockwork Vampire Chronicles, a fantasy series, The Blood Dragon Empire grimdark fantasy novels, and A Song For No Man's Land, dark fantasy set during the First World War. His books have been translated into six languages. Remic previously worked as an English teacher at Counthill School and Branston Community Academy in Branston, Lincolnshire, England.[2][3] Remic writes and directs indie films, originally for the UK-based independent film company Anarchy Films, now for RAM films, and in 2015 released his directorial debut film Impurity. Recently he made films about the iconic ZX Spectrum computer, notably Memoirs of a Spectrum Addict which received "Pick of the Month" in Retro Gamer Magazine, followed by Spectrum Addict: LOAD "FILM2" in 2018.

Remic wrote a number of computer games when he was a child, including several text adventures for the ZX Spectrum in the 1980s and early 1990s. Some of these appeared on the cover-mounted cassettes that accompanied Crash magazine, and others were sold by mail order. Many of his games were produced under the name Psychedelic Hedgehog Software.[4] In 2018 Remic achieved a dream to meet many Spectrum heroes such as Roger Kean, Oliver Frey, Clive Townsend, Jon Ritman, John Hare, Steve Turner, Gary Bracey, Simon Butler, Jim Bagley and many other Spectrum veterans whilst making his documentary feature films.
