Gaie Sebold was born in the USA but has lived in the UK since she was very small. She is still quite small, but older.Her first published novel, 'Babylon Steel', came out from Solaris in 2012. The second in the Babylon Steel series, 'Dangerous Gifts', came out in 2013. A steampunk novel, 'Shanghai Sparrow', is due in 2014.She has a number of short stories in current anthologies including the David Gemmell memorial anthology 'Legends' and the 'World War Cthulhu Fiction Anthology'.Gaie occasionally hits people with latex swords and has been known to read poetry, in public, for money. She has had a number of jobs, none of them as much fun as writing or running writing workshops. The most interesting thing she ever had to do for a day job was travel on the Underground while carrying a 6 foot carriage whip and an artificial severed finger. She lives with writer David Gullen and has a paranoid cat, a shaggy garden, and rather a lot of hats.
