Eve Smith

Eve writes speculative fiction, mainly about the things that scare her. She attributes her love of all things dark and dystopian to a childhood watching Tales of the Unexpected and black-and-white Edgar Allan Poe double bills. In this world of questionable facts, stats and news, she believes storytelling is more important than ever to engage people in real-life issues. Eve's previous job as COO of an environmental charity took her to research projects across Asia, Africa and the Americas, and she has an ongoing passion for wild creatures, wild science and far-flung places. Longlisted for the Not the Booker Prize and described by Waterstones as 'an exciting new voice in crime fiction', Eve Smith's debut novel The Waiting Rooms was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize First Novel Award and was selected as a Book of the Month by Eric Brown in the Guardian soon after publication, who compared her writing to that of Michael Crichton. When she's not writing she's racing across fields after her dog, trying to organize herself and her family, or off exploring somewhere new. Eve lives in Oxfordshire with her family, and is currently working on her second book.
