About this author

edit data

Debbie Moorhouse is a British writer who also takes photographs. She is the Fiction Editor for the WorldSF blog, currently reads slush for ASIM and was consultant editor to Murky Depths magazine. Her story "Sundown" was published in GUD Issue 0; she joined the GUD staff with Issue 1, then instigated Issues 3 and 6. The short story is her favourite form, which makes it puzzling that her shorts tend to grow into novels.
