Long bio:
Catriona Silvey was born in Glasgow and grew up in Perthshire and Derbyshire, which left her with a strange accent and a distrust of flat places. She overcame the latter to do a BA in English at Cambridge, and spent the next few years there working in scientific publishing. After that she moved to Edinburgh and did a PhD in language evolution, in the hope of finding out where all these words came from in the first place.
Following stints in Chicago and back in Cambridge, she returned to Edinburgh, where she lives with her husband and children. When she's not working as a technical writer for a software company, she writes character-driven science fiction. Her debut novel Meet Me in Another Life was published in 2021. Her next book, the time-travel romantic comedy Love and Other Paradoxes, will be released in 2025.
