About Me

British sci-fi and fantasy author, based in Sheffield, currently living with four snakes. Life could be stranger...
The Important Bit:
Firstly, I'm not your average woman - I'm a pre-op trans-female - for those who don't know that means I was born physically male and am currently pursuing gender reassignment in order to become physically female. It's easier than swapping my brain for one that thinks it's male...
If you want to chat to me then please understand that one-line e-mails asking 'how u doin' or just saying 'hello' will probably get deleted without a reply. Same goes if you insist on using textspeak. It's nothing personal - I'm just getting a lot of e-mails. If you make me laugh or make me think in a new way then you'll probably get a reply.
If you want me to add you to my Friends List then please introduce yourself first. I'm always happy to make new friends and don't mind chatting but if you just add me for the sake of it then don't be surprised if I deny your request.
Thanks for reading.

It Never Rains, But It Pours

Well, if things weren't already bad enough this morning my desktop PC died. As far as I can tell it's a problem with the graphics card but as with all things PC it's so hard to be sure. This couldn't...

Through Mist-Tinted Eyes

It's been a while, hasn't it?The last few weeks of my life have been incredibly hectic, and a wee bit more than a little strange. The editing that I need to do on the second book has been very slow (n...
