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.

This letter from Nick Cave is #life when it comes to creativity

“The Favourite” is a story about desire and the emptiness of greed

Reclaiming my time and focus has been the most valuable lesson I’ve learned as a creative

The heartbreaking commodification of the body in pursuit of profit

“The Storytelling Animal” is a fascinating look at the purpose and origin of fiction

“The Never King” is a steaming mess
