| Introduction | Originally from Barnsley and now studying for a Ph.D in Literature at York St John University, most of her time is spent on writing - both academic and this non-categorisable sort of prose that starts in the middle of sentences and often doesn't go anywhere. Non-transferable skills include: changing beer kegs; being able to name all the capitals of the world; horse riding; proficiency with chopsticks. Occasional money-making strategies have included bar work, life modelling, and teaching. She can also be found in other areas of the internet, with varying levels of professionalism. It really depends what you're into. This page collects her previously published creative writing and, where possible, links to those publications with gratitude. |
| Interests | Keeping on top of alternate realities, looking at maps, reading, writing, speaking but not so much listening, horses, philosophy, that part of the brain that fills up with lyrics and phone numbers when it ought to be used for French verbs. |

| Favorite books | Threshold, The Magnetic Fields, and Mrs Dalloway are my three favourites of all time. I did a literature degree, I write for a living, I work in a bookshop, and my flat looks like a library threw up all over it... there are too many to mention when you read like I do. |
