About meI currently live and work in the south of England. When I'm not in the office, I spend a lot of time writing: fantastical fiction, mostly. My short stories have sold to Clarkesworld, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet and several other zines.

About my libraryThe books currently on my shelves, more or less. I'm not counting the to-read pile.

Noticed you liked Out by Natsuo Kirino, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here, as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also gritty, a bit violent, and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit.

Thanks,

Hello there. Big ups to Bishop and Mieville, they are fabulous authors, aren't they? Thanks for your 'highly recommended' list, now I have to check out The Carpet Makers and Catherynne Valente's writings.
