She has lived in China, attempted to create the perfect aquarium biotope, studied Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at Cambridge University, and can hit an archery target from 100 feet away.

Victoria Williams (Author)
Victoria (Vicky to almost everyone) has degrees in Evolutionary Biology and Science Communication, and loves writing about the weird and wonderful world. When she's not writing or reading, you'll probably find her walking, dancing, gaming, watching wildlife or baking a cake.
