Having graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a bachelor's degree in English Literature, Caroline now lives with her husband in Torquay, UK where she writes horror and dark fantasy fiction as well as a range of non-fiction articles.

Her short stories have been published in numerous small press magazines including Ballista, Hungur and Night to Dawn, and on the web at Dark Fire Fiction. A novella called The Undead Alliance was recently featured in Twisted Tongue magazine.

Caroline's debut novel, a dark fantasy about love, addiction and vampires in the faded backstreets of Devon, was published by Immanion Press in June 2009.

When she's not writing, Caroline can usually be found indulging her passion for sci-fi and fantasy or knitting - a hobby that's got so out of hand she's recently opened Cazzcraft; an Etsy shop where she sells her patterns and original creations.
