Nyki Blatchley
I began writing when I was four years old, and I haven't stopped since. In the meantime, I've found time to graduate from the University of Keele in Greek Studies and English and hold a number of jobs, ranging from bookshop assistant and care-worker to artist's model, and even a stint with Macdonalds. Much of my writing has been either poetry or fantasy (of the non-erotic kind), and I've had numerous short stories and poems published. My fantasy novel At an Uncertain Hour has been accepted for publication by StoneGarden. I've also written music, and done numerous gigs on the London poetry/music scene, doing performance poetry to taped backing music, which I called the Invisible Band.
I recently began writing erotica and had three fantasy novellas published by Dark Eden Press, before its unfortunate closure: The Concubine of the Temple, Kaydana and the Staff of Ishlun and Kaydana and the Ruby of Beguilement. I've also had stories in the Xcite Books anthologies Sex & Submission and Ultimate Sex. I currently live just outside London and work in PR.
Interests other than writing (and reading, of course) include music, particularly folk and rock, though I have quite wide tastes. I also play keyboards and percussion, though not particularly well. I love history, and I've Civil War reenactments (the English Civil War, that is - roundheads and cavaliers). I enjoy fellwalking, especially in the Lake District, and I love cricket, though I'm limited to being a spectator.
