I write science fiction, published by Roc in the US (an imprint of Penguin Random House) and Gollancz in the UK, and urban fantasy published by Diversion Books. Two historical fantasy novellas of the Industrial Magic series have been published by Tor.com. (You can find more information about individual books below.)

I am also an audio book narrator. If you'd like to know more about that, visit my audiobooks page.
