Born in London, moved around a number of other UK cities. Real life is far more bizarre and interesting than any world that fantasy writers could create; I try to bring the surreal into mundane everyday reality in my own work.

Fascinating idea for a story, and overall it worked well. I'd have preferred it if the characters had a little bit more background detail to bring them to life; but in spite of that I was still able to sympathise with the main protagonist.

Religious proselytising masquerading as fantasy fiction, with a vague rambling plotline that doesn't hang together at all well. It was as if the writer had attempted to put parts together from an assortment of her favourite stories; which *might* have worked if she'd sat down and given the idea enough structure to start with.
Nonetheless the sheer conviction behind it all kept me reading to the end; and she writes well in spite of the incoherent plot. Worth a read if you have an idle afternoon to kill, but don't expect it to deepen your understanding of either fairy folklore or Christian doctrine.

Only a very short story, but very evocative and left me longing to know more.
