JESS RICHARDS was born in Wales in 1972 and grew up too fast in southwest Scotland, where she lived with her English parents and three brothers, watching the ferry boats going to and from Northern Ireland. She earned a first-class degree from Dartington College of Arts when she was twenty-one, then after brief stints busking and carrying on in both Leeds and London, she moved to Brighton at the age of twenty-three, where she has lived and worked ever since and grown up a bit more slowly. She has recently studied creative writing at Sussex University and has had a number of short stories published.
