Bio |
What am I? A bone and flesh drawing of girl, my hands covered in keyboard-ink, caught on the island-edge of the Atlantic by a city of lost rivers. I write many things. My short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in Clarkesworld Magazine, Strange Horizons, The Mammoth Book of Steampunk, Escape Pod, Steam-Powered 2: More Lesbian Stories, Fantasy Magazine and Sybil's Garage; a handbound limited edition of my story "Two Coins" has been created by Papaveria Press (see left). For my poetry, look to Stone Telling, Goblin Fruit, The Moment of Change, Jabberwocky 4 and the 2010 Rhysling Award anthology. The full list of my published work is available on my website. When not writing, I'm a lapsed academic (focusing on the construction of Alexander's history in the ancient Near-East, and the women of ancient Central Asia), a frequent traveller, a coin collector, a gamer, and more.
