RA Black was born in Southampton and wrote her first story when she was five. She wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up but ended up working in IT after graduating university.
While her career didn’t exactly go to plan, she never stopped writing, which allowed her to visit many worlds. She now lives in Bath with her long-term partner and more plushie animals than will comfortably fit on the couch.

Currently self-published but looking to break out of the slush-pile with her next book.
