After twenty years working as a professional editor in online communications and book publishing, Skye Bothma now writes full time. She is terminally single and lives a quiet life in rural New Zealand with a family of furry and feathered friends – some she adopted and some who adopted her. Born in South Africa, she considers herself a global citizen by effort. As a person with several chronic conditions, she is an advocate for raising awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity, chronic illness and invisible disability issues. She enjoys travel, learning about the world, arts and crafts, gardening and attempting the occasional DIY disaster.
