Autorenporträt
C H Clepitt has a Master's Degree in English Literature from the University of the West of England. As her Bachelor's Degree was in Drama, and her Master's Dissertation focused on little known 18th Century playwright Susannah Centlivre, Clepitt's novels are extremely dialogue driven, and it has often been observed that they would translate well to the screen. Since graduating in 2007, she gained experience in community and music journalism, before establishing satirical news website, Newsnibbles in 2010. In 2011 she published her book, A Reason to Stay, which follows the adventures of disillusioned retail manager, Stephen, as he is thrust into village life and the world of AmDram. Clepitt's feminist fantasy, The Book of Abisan not only crosses worlds, but confuses genres, and has been described as a crime drama with magic. She has often said that she doesn't like the way that choosing a genre forces you to put your book into a specific little box, and instead she prefers to distort the readers' expectations and keep them guessing. Her 2016 work, I Wore Heels to the Apocalypse does just that, as just like the characters, the readers won't know what's going on in this laugh out loud satirical scifi.
