BIOGRAPHYFiona has been
writing for about twelve years, ever since an
accident forced her to give up full-time work. In
that time she's had a number of short stories
published, most recently with QueeredFiction, Mslexia, Ink Sweat &
Tears, The Pygmy Giant, Byker Books, and Flash Me Magazine, but also with MLR
Press, Haworth Press, CPQ Magazine, Aspen Mountain Press, Velvet Mafia, Gay Flash Fiction, Forbidden Fruit, BENT Magazine, and several
magazines that have now ceased publication.
Her first ever novel, Roses
in December, a gay paranormal romance, was
published by Torquere Press.
She particularly enjoys
writing ghost stories or anything with a
paranormal or creepy theme, and often gets
inspiration from the landscape or places she
visits on holiday. Other sources of ideas include
fairy tales, myths, legends, dreams, music and
books, as well as (be warned!) the people she
meets in daily life.
In her spare time she writes
book reviews for her own review site, The Sharpened Quill, and for Speak Its Name, a review site
specialising in gay historical fiction.
In any spare time after that,
she enjoys history, archaeology, architecture,
art, gardening, watercolour painting and music.
And reading, of course. She rarely has her nose
far from the pages of a book.
Fiona lives in a Victorian
house in Birmingham (the original one in the UK)
with one husband, several visiting cats, and far
too many spiders.
