Lucy Kissick wrote Plutoshine while completing her doctorate at the University of Oxford, where she recreated Martian lakes in the laboratory to understand the planet's atmosphere. She now works as a scientist in the nuclear industry between the mountains and the sea of the English Lake District, and can usually be found in either.
