AUTHOR: I came across the idea for my first novel almost by accident. I was at home on summer break from school-I use the word "summer" lightly, as I'm from the north of England-when a news article caught my eye. It was titled "The First Person to Live to 1000 has Already Been Born." A year (and several drafts) later I had a manuscript for my first novel: Uploaded. These days I live in Lancaster, a place equally as cold and wet, with seven of my friends. When I'm not writing (or procrastinating), I alternate my time between finishing off my degree in marketing, cooking, travelling, and running.
