(?   -    ) Scottish author who began publishing work of genre interest with "The Stranding" in Metaphorosis Magazine for June 2021. In her first novel, the Near Future Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock (2024), it is possible to create entirely convincing Clones of oneself. The eponymous celebrity at the heart of the tale, after producing twelve, soon finds that the Media Landscape no longer rewards such behaviour. She creates a thirteenth clone to kill the others. Complications ensue. The richness of the iterations of the ur blackbird in Wallace Stevens's "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" (in Others: An Anthology of the New Verse, anth 1917, edited by Alfred Kreymborg) may suggest that the "real" interior Lulabelle is of some primal interest.
