Frances Rowat lives in Ontario with her husband, their dog, and a not-quite-startling number of cats. She was born in Canada, and while growing up spent time in England, Algeria, and Switzerland. She spends most of her time behind a keyboard, where she frequently gets lost in details. She enjoys coffee, puzzles, rain, and post-apocalyptic settings, and can be found on Twitter @aphotic_ink or online at aphotic-ink.com.
