Ceri A. Lowe

Ceri A. Lowe was born in Neath, South Wales and writes short stories under the name of Ceri Lowe-Petraske. Living part time in Bristol, England and part time in Cardiff, Wales she has various obsessions including all things Spanish, travelling, refurbishing houses and, of course, writing. When she's not writing, Ceri can be found providing project management and consultancy services to financial services companies. Thankfully, none of her stories are inspired by this. In the last few years she's won the Exeter Short Story Award, Global Short Stories annual prize, the Flash 500 Award, the Story Star Publishing Prize and the Writers' Forum Short Story competition. In June 2014, she published PARADIGM, the first instalment in the Paradigm Trilogy, a dystopian YA series set in a post-apocalyptic world. The second instalment of the trilogy, DEADLANDS, is due to be published in 2016.
