Tracey M Carvill lives in a village just outside Rochester, UK (where all the Charles Dickens comes from). She lives with her black cat Siouxsie and her partner Jack, and is doing her best to be known as the village witch. Her biggest fan is her mum Mary, who is also her first editor and proofreader (thanks Mum!). She can often be found wandering Rochester High Street looking for ghosts or charity shop bargains, and she never misses the Sweeps Festival. If a building is said to be haunted, she's probably tried to spend the night there. Occasionally she goes into the forest and pretends to be a fairytale creature.
