Scarlett Thomas

Formerly of London, Scarlett Thomas lives in Devon with her boyfriend and dog. In 2001, she became part of the controversial British literary movement, the New Puritans. In 2001 she was selected by a major newspaper as one of the best 20 young writers in the UK. To relax, Scarlett plays her guitar and goes for long walks. Dead Clever is her homage to B-movies and classic detective fiction puzzles.
