Brief Author Bio:

I'm a 21-year-old in low level management in the content-editorial department of a defence industry publisher, living and working in the south of England. Fantastical fiction and ancient history are two of my loves (and they are joined at the hip by one or two bones); travelling is another. Sometimes I play Nintendo. I am fond of chocolate, particularly when it contains spices and/or is melted.

I have had short stories and poetry published in Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Electric Velocipede, Shimmer, Goblin Fruit, The Pedestal Magazine, Sybil's Garage, Farrago's Wainscot and several other 'zines.

I like songs with strange lyrics and varied instruments.

I have several narrative kinks: characters with ambiguous morality; architecture (finials are very fine); strange monsters; footnotes; characters with varied sexualities; palindromes; academia; hair (particularly with things in it, like bones or dead seahorses or pieces of paper that generate winds); characters of varied skin tones; storytelling within the novel; magic that cannot be fully explained; narrative told in the form of various texts; inaccurate history/tales; wars that are not clear-cut; surreal description; spices. There are probably more.
