Grace Bridges

Grace Bridges is the current president of writers' association SpecFicNZ and runs a small publishing house called Splashdown Books, which includes the Avenir Eclectia shared world project and the Waitemata Books imprint for mainly Kiwi titles. In addition to this, she has multiple short stories in international anthologies and is working on two science fiction novels under contract to Port Yonder Press in the USA, due to release in 2014 and tentatively titled A Guildswoman's Dream and A Guildswoman's Journey. She writes from a hilltop in Auckland, translates German for a living, travels as often as she can, and always wants more pets than she has. Grace is a New Zealander of Irish descent and a multilingual do-it-yourself force to be reckoned with. Often found staring into trees in search of a tui, she is a mystic wordnerd, urbanite hermit, and a writer of futuristic dreams that mess with your mind. Find more at www.splashdownbooks.com.
