Bad hair, good day
About Fiona Faith Ross
Can you imagine? Before Generation Y, writers like me bashed away on those museum pieces called typewriters. Then we were wowed briefly by new word processing systems. I was a “jack-of-all-trades” wordsmith for years before the Interweb was even a short circuit on Tim Berners-Lee’s motherboard.
Now the web has outgrown the planet, finding the information and resources writers need is more challenging than ever. There’s so much of it. And we have to keep learning, in ever-faster cycles, as so succinctly observed by Mr Moore (Moore’s Law). No rest for the eWicked. Keep spinning!

A Mini History
I have two first degrees, a BSc in Technology (Open University 2001) and a BSc Information Technology (University of Reading 2010). Gaining a TESOL qualification so that I could go on an adventure to live in Spain, I taught English to Spanish students. Born and educated in the UK, I worked in Film, the Music Industry and TV during my early career, and later as an entrepreneur. Writing has always been a part of it.
Co-Writer Gates of Hades, a supernatural thriller, in pre-production.
