Liesel Schwarz writes fiction. A life-long fan of 19th Century Gothic literature, she is a hopeless romantic and loves Victorians, steampunk, fairies, fantasy monsters, the Fin de siècle and the correct way to drink absinthe.
Liesel is currently busy with her doctorate in English and Creative Writing at Brunel University. She is definitely a cat person.
