I am proud to live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my Warrior-Poet husband, two beloved children, and a depressed Beagle called The Beagle.

We have come back to live Scotland after six years abroad in Singapore and Germany, I am a bit of a nomad so it feels a little odd settling in again.

I was never any good at 9-5 and a hopeless secretary so I’ve had many jobs, including working the door at London clubs, cupcake baker, cycle courier and a Counsellor. I always wanted to work for MI5 but failed the critical thinking test.

In September I start my MLitt in Creative Writing at Glasgow University which is very exciting and I look forward to being back at Uni albeit part time.

When I’m not writing or baking cupcakes, I am is thinking about writing, reading, designing book covers, gaming or watching dark, blood-splattered dramas like the Walking Dead, Ray Donavon, and Sons of Anarchy.

I am totally prepared for a zombie apocalypse!
