I was born in Yorkshire, England, where I have lived for my entire life. I currently work in an office in the city, doing admin.   I started out writing poetry and short stories for competitions before moving on to novels. These were mainly fantasy/sci-fi/horror (ranging from Vampires to magic to the end of the world) and aimed at young adult to adult audiences.   After starting to write fanfiction- which I still post over on livejournal and various other fanfiction sites- I began writing adult novels as well.
