[edit] Career biography
Growing up in rural South England, Rhodes stumbled on a box of used Marvel and DC comics at a Country Fair for fifty pence, and so began her fascination with fantasy and SF. She wrote her first movie novelization on her grandmother's ancient typewriter at age eleven - a full-length book adaptation of her favorite film Short Circuit. After graduating from the University of Wales in Newport with a BA Honors Degree in Film Production and Cinematography, she worked as a family photographer in London for many years before being hired to write official movie novelisations for Black Flame, an imprint of BL Publishing, the publishing arm of UK gaming giant Games Workshop. She wrote her first original novel Dante's Girl three years later at the age of 28, after penning five movie-based original novels and novelisations for the company. Her supernatural Buffy-style book series was published by Solaris Books, a new imprint of BL Publishing, which focuses on Science Fiction, Fantasy and Dark Fantasy novels and anthologies by both established and new authors. The series was distributed to the UK and US booktrade via local divisions of Simon & Schuster. The second book in the series The Last Angel[1] is due to be released on 29th July 2008.
