British writer of fantastical things.

It's about alchemy, dark elves, and a girl with magical iron tattoos. FALLING TO ASH (September 2012), began a new series for Random House UK about an ass-kicking teen vampire called Moth. You can read more of Moth's adventures in her very own webcomic: www.mothtales.com

In my varied career I've been a professional Tarot reader, a college counsellor, a dating agency consultant and a bookseller. Ever since I was six years old what I really wanted to be was Wonder Woman, but have instead settled for being a writer which is the best job of all! ...more

Hmm... Good question! I've never added them myself, before. I think readers with 'librarian' status add them. I guess I could do it myself. I think the deal goes in PM today (?) so then it'll feel even MORE official. ;)
