I am the author of The State of Me (HarperCollins 2008). The novel is based on my experience of the neuroimmune illness myalgic encephalomyeltis (ME). I was shortlisted for the Bridport Short Story prize 2011 and the Bridport Flash Fiction prize 2012. I blog at velogubbed legs and currently only use this Wordpress profile for commenting on other sites. I tweet at @velogubbed
