So, do I tell you how long I’ve stared at this blank space longing for inspiration?
It’s one of life’s twisted ironies that the About Me page on any blog will send most writers running for the hills. Because we’re generally happier letting our characters talk. Waxing lyrical about ourselves is like that dream where you find yourself in public with no pants..
I write urban fantasy with a twist of horror. I get very attached to my characters. I’m a perfectionist.
A few random facts – I hate burnt toast. I’m having a love affair with Earl Grey, I drink far too much (tea, that is, although I am partial to a cold glass of Chardonnay). I love the smell right before a thunderstorm, the constellation of Orion and snow before anyone has jumped in it.
And words. Ones that get right under your skin and turn you inside out. Now they make me smile.
LOVE IT! 🙂

I think we may be soulmates 😛 I LOVE the smell right before a thunderstorm and untouched snow. And Earl Grey – there’s always a box in our kitchen, I never run out ❤
The About Me page is insanely difficult to write, but you did pretty well ^^

Depends on the cookie 😉 They’re not as good as I remembered so we probably don’t want them at our tea party to be honest. I’ll bring chocolate chip ones instead ^^

Love this thumbnail pinboard sketch – a great outline just short enough on detail to be tantalising. I look forward to the TLS biography…

Thanks, Jenny 😀 The hardest thing about blogging is writing this damn page *laughs* TLS? You got me on that one. Although I plead that my brain cells have all but diminished this week 😉

Found myself back here on a Twitter wander – and realised that maybe you meant you didn’t get *TLS*. So, just in case: Times Literary Supplement. Better start brushing up this deliciously slim About piece – they’ll need about a page…

I blame it entirely on my brain consisting of cotton wool at that point, 6 days pre-release…Ha, if only! Need to hone my waffling skills 😉
