About

Starsheep ⭐🐑

Career creative. Imported into fiction writing directly from marketing. Previous career: copywriter & illustrator, after a start in showbiz. Non-binary, autistic queer descended from Vikings and one Polish horse thief. Believer in lust as much as love. Greatest obsession: brave truths. Happiest when: sitting down with an iced mocha and infusing stories with poetry. Favourite thing to do on a Sunday: having the last of the tiramisu for breakfast & a sinful little book in the sunshine. Reasons for writing books: unapologetic SF/F nerd who doesn't know how to survive reality without fantasy.
