I'm an aspiring author, working on my first novel and other projects. I write a lot of speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural etc) but I also like to dabble in genres outside my comfort zone.

I am fiction editor and principal contributor on a site called The Great Escape which showcases film, fiction and comics. If you've enjoyed reading my work here, I hope you'll come and check the site out.

My alter-ego, CM Owens, writes erotica and has a published short story, Youth and Experience, due for release in December 2011.

I'm always up for meeting fellow writers and sharing tips and tricks. If you'd like some honest feedback on your work, PM me and we can arrange something. I have a blog where you can find bits and pieces on writing, film making and stuff:

Interests
Film making, photography, gaming, science. I'm pretty much the classic female geek (not nerd, for that you have to be socially inept... er, wait... no, no, not a nerd). I'm into physical special effects, including make up prosthetics. I generally just love getting messy and making stuff.

So hard to choose, but I'll try! Clan of the Cavebear (Jean Auel), Good Omens (Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaimen), Going Postal (Terry Pratchett), Dracula (Bram Stoker), Dimestore Magic (Kelley Armstrong), Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (Paul Torday)
