Karen Bayly
Karen Bayly is a software tester and author of five books. As a child, she wrote soap operas for her dolls to perform. These days it's her general dismay at the state of the world that informs her writing, a mix of speculative fiction, alternative history, and mystery, often garnished with a touch of horror. She lives in the outer suburbs of Sydney, Australia, with two indoor cats, two guitars, and two ukuleles.
