| Introduction | I live in Brighton with my fella and two small boys. I like to write fiction these days, having spent many years writing non-fiction, and I have a small selection of short stories and two novels under my belt. The first, BloodMining, is to be published by Bridge House in autumn 2011. Currently, I'm working on the second draft of my second novel. It follows a deformed boy and a beautiful woman, an artist. One is on a quest to look ‘normal’, the other is experimenting with cosmetic surgery as a means of artistic expression. |
