How's this for a biography?
Kay Sexton writes for the UK's premier sustainability journal, Green Futures. In the four years she has been writing, Kay’s fiction has been chosen for over twenty anthologies. She was a finalist in the 2007 University of Hertfordshire Writing Award and was runner-up in the 2004 Guardian short fiction contest judged by Dave Eggers. Her novel, Gatekeeper, is currently with an agent and she is working on a second novel about pornography and rivers in 1920s Hampshire.
"Pornography and rivers in 1920s Hampshire"? This is a book I need to read! Read what Kay's writing for NaNoWriMo over the cut (it's even more interesting than her bio).
This is my fifth year of NaNo which I do entirely for fun – I’ve hit the target every year and last year’s erotic novel was serialised at the online erotica site, Ruthie’s Club! This year I’m writing a science fiction novel: The Jayne Project
Imagine a world where we our minds are being read - by a middle-aged
woman from Beckenham who is kept in a dome in Texas by a combined US/UK
task force. She is Jayne and she finds terrorists and criminals who
are picked off by SWAT teams. Around her is The Jayne Project - the
people whose minds she fills with the knowledge she pulls from the
heads of America's most wanted - and around them is the security that
keeps Jayne safe.
But something has gone wrong. A terrorist infiltrates the dome and The
Jayne Project is wiped out by a lethal bacterium - all except Donny who
was outside the dome, looking for his cat. So he goes home to England,
and tries to work out what happened.
But all is not as it seems; there’s a twelve year old girl who keeps
finding needles and knives in the strangest places and Donny can’t help
feeling that Jayne is still out there, infiltrating. And one day he
realises that Jayne was never in the dome at all …”
