✨ Debuted in 1993 with The Element of Fire, which gained critical acclaim. 📚 Moves fluidly between fantasy and science fiction. 🤖 Murderbot became an international favourite – the introverted, binge-watching robot. 🏆 Recipient of Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Alex Award. 🌍 Has lectured and taught writing workshops in the US, UK, and France. 📖 Has also written for role-playing games and television scripts. 🖊 Once admitted she didn’t believe her success would last. 🎓 Holds a degree in anthropology, fueling her world-building. 📺 Critics compare Murderbot to antihero TV characters of the streaming era. 🙃 Curiously, she says Murderbot “writes itself” and dictates the story. 😄 Amusingly, she jokes her cats are more stubborn than any robot she could invent.
