Centre where she spent a year looking at new forms of online
narrative. Since then she has continued to experiment and develop
digital fiction projects, including The Breathing Wall, a full-length

to respond to the reader's rate of breathing.

Her print books include the novels 'Weird Sister' and 'The Last Time I
Saw Jane' as well as the novel of the film 'The Piano'. Her latest
book, 'A Little Stranger', received excellent reviews on its
publication in January of this year. Her first play for radio, 'The

national broadcast. She currently teaches on the Masters degree in
Creative Writing and New Media at De Montfort University, Leicester.
