Over the years, Skye has worked in a wide variety of jobs from selling popcorn at a cinema to analysing data for a government department. Her favourite job was based in a museum with a dinosaur display, which helped to spark the idea of The Deadlands.
In her spare time, Skye devours a ridiculous amount of chocolate and fantasy literature. Skyes YA novels include the Chasing the Valley trilogy, Agent Nomad and The Hush. The Deadlands trilogy is her middle grade debut.
