About the Author

Liverpool lass Tess is 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. Tess writes a distinctive brand of British comedie noir and her short stories have darkened the pages of various anthologies and magazines, including Shotgun Honey, Pulp Metal Magazine, Out of the Gutter Online, 'Exiles: An Outsider Anthology' (Blackwitch Press), 'Drag Noir' (Fox Spirit), 'Rogue' (Near to the Knuckle), 'Locked and Loaded' (One Eye Press), and 'Last Word' (Joyride Press). Her debut novella, a pyschological noir called 'Raise the Blade', is due out from Caffeine Nights Publishing in 2016.
