Naomi Foyle was born in London, UK, and grew up in Hong Kong, Liverpool and Saskatchewan. After a decade exploring Europe, Central America, South East Asia and Australia, she finally settled in Brighton a pebble's throw from the sea. Over the years she has worked in the independent book trade, jazz bars and blues diners, travel journalism and TAEFL teaching, and as a properly eccentric Tarot Card reader in Brighton's South Lanes. Naomi's novels are deeply rooted in her world travels. Her debut novel, Seoul Survivors, a cyber-chiller set in South Korea named by The Guardian as 'among the best of recent SF', was published by Jo Fletcher Books in 2013. She has now embarked on The Gaia Chronicles, an eco-science fantasy quartet set in a post-fossil fuel Mesopotamia, informed by her human rights work for a just peace in Israel-Palestine. Astra, Rook Song and The Blood of the Hoopoe are all now available from JFB, with the conclusion of the series, Stained Light, due in 2017. Passionate about her themes and research, she blogs about politics, disability, mental health and her travels at www.naomifoyle.com Naomi is also a prize-winning poet, the author of collections including The Night Pavilion, a 2008 Poetry Society Recommendation and The World Cup (2010) both from Waterloo Press. Originally trained in theatre, she has collaborated with artists, musicians and filmmakers on projects including the prize-winning videopoem Good Definition (2004), the award-winning bouffon opera Hush (Theatre Passe Muraille, Toronto 1990), and the short verse drama, 'The Strange Wife', produced by the Bush Theatre in 2011 and published in 66 Books: 21st Century Writers Respond to the King James Bible (Oberon Press). A Senior Lecturer at Chichester University, she works as well as a free-lance poetry editor, on titles including The Privilege of Rain by David Swann (Waterloo Press 2010), short-listed for the 2011 Ted Hughes Award. Currently her desk drawer contains stacks of poems she will return to when The Gaia Chronicles are finally complete!
