About Me

I'm a Chatham girl. What can I say? I don't do half-measures. I'm passionate about science fiction, I love that you can play with questions and ideas that are taboo in other genres...I work to fund my poetry habit. I also like writing flash fiction but I like to experiment with other formats, when they don't interfere in my Dr Who watching. I'm moving onto writing longer stories and audio plays.I co-host a radio show called "gossip is good" for the Sunlight centre. Listen to it and you'll be deafened by our professionalism. And Siouxie.

My Interests

Writing Not writing Travel to new places I'm a tourist not a traveller
Watching far too much screwy sci-fi.
