Liverpool lass Tess is now settled in the far north of England where she roams the fells with a brolly, dreaming up new stories and startling the occasional sheep. Tess writes a distinctive brand of British comédie noir and her short stories have darkened the pages of various anthologies and magazines. Her latest book, comedy noir 'Embers of Bridges' is set in Birmingham and features the Live Hard Die Young gang, a series of robberies and a bizarre getaway on a canal boat. Darkly comic crime romp ‛Gravy Train’, published by All Due Respect, and dark psychological noir 'Raise the Blade' are also both available. You can follow her ramblings (both literary and literal) at her blog: http://tessmakovesky.wordpress.com/ .
