Gaie Sebold was born in the US to an American father and English mother, and has lived in the UK most of her life. She now resides in that bit of South East London known as тАШnot as bad as New Cross.тАЩ She began writing shortly after learning to read, and has produced a large number of words, many of them different. She has worked as a cleaner (donтАЩt laugh, Mum), secretary, till-monkey, stage-tour-manager and editor, and now works for a charity and runs occasional writing workshops. She is an obsessive reader, enthusiastically inefficient gardener and occasional poet. She has a wonderful boyfriend, a paranoid cat and too much stuff. Find out more at www.gaiesebold.com.
