Vicky Voltaire is a seasoned writer and a traveling artist. She likes Cuban bread and hot chocolate. She is a vagabond who has homes in Gotham City, Asgard and the Pride Lands.

Raised by a pack of wolves somewhere just off the M25, Iris Beacon ran away from home aged 14, spent the next ten years trashing hotel rooms with rock stars, and currently stars in her own pay-per-view internet porn channel (and no, she's not telling you where it is).

Iris has published work in several languages, including French, Spanish, Elvish, Asgardian, Hieratic script, chicken scratch, gobbledygook and Bullshit.
