About this author

Icy Sedgwick hails from the frozen north of England, where she divides her time between a PhD in Film Studies and writing various forms of fiction.

Icy has two e-books to her name, The First Tale and Checkmate & Other Stories, as well as stories in other anthologies. Her debut book, a pulp Western named The Guns of Retribution, was published in September 2011 by Pulp Press.
