Liverpool lass Tess moved away to work at a tender age. Since then her movements around the country have resembled a game of 'Pong', but she's now settled in the far north of England, where she roams the fells with a brolly, dreaming up new stories and startling the occasional sheep.Although officially a history graduate, Tess has long been a student of the darker side of human nature, and one of her favourite hobbies is watching and listening to the people around her. Many of her stories feature revenge, but she's never been tempted to get her own back on anyone herself. Except, of course, by writing them into her stories... which you can find in online magazines like Shotgun Honey, Pulp Metal Magazine and Out of the Gutter Online, and most recently in the Exiles anthology from Blackwitch Press.
