About the Author

Joan Lennon lives in the Kingdom of Fife, on the River Tay. The Kingdom is
said to be shaped like a dogs head. If this is so, her flat is somewhere on
the tip of the ear, which explains a lot. She has a husband, four tall sons and
one short cat, and plans to go on writing forever. Planet Hell is her first
book for A & C Black.
