NEW BIO: The quiet W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh, known to be a versatile artist, a chocolate fiend, an independent musician, and a tree hugger, enjoys photographic walks in cemeteries where tombstones and trees mingle together. W has contributed to various anthologies including the Ladies & Gentlemen of Horror 2014 and 2017 anthologies (as a writer) and the Ladies & Gentlemen of Horror 2016 (as an artist). This secretive writer is the author of a novel entitled ‘Outsider’ (punch line: ‘Vampires and lesbians enjoying rock music in London’) published in 2012, and ‘Tales for the 21st Century’, a collection of short stories published in 2014. Their most recent book is another collection of short stories, 'Tales for the 21st Century, volume 2', self-published in 2019. W has been rumoured to use other pen names. This non-binary person currently lives with one cat in London and has a tendency to devour books (paper is a very edible substance) while drinking coffee or water (coffee being coloured water) and eating too much chocolate, on a background of music by Joan Armatrading or Patti Smith or deux furieuses or Buffy Sainte Marie or Mimi Fox or Stever, etc. https://www.facebook.com/Walkis-Monst... OLD BIO: Little is known about the apparently quiet W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh. The few unearthed bones are still disconnected: dreams, books, no gender, tattoos, wolves, invisible energies, permanent puzzlement. W would be (in alphabetical order) a versatile artist, a chocolate fiend, an independent musician, and a tree hugger. The cats know more, but refuse to talk: one will stare you down; the other one will fight you. W’s writings have appeared in unknown, obscure zines and in the last ten years in various anthologies, including the recent 'Ladies and Gentlemen of Horror 2014'. W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh is a speculative writer and occasionally writes under other names.
