Melanie Harding-Shaw is a speculative fiction writer, policy geek, and mother-of-three from Wellington, New Zealand. Her house is nestled near the M kara Peak Mountain Bike Park, and she can often be found jogging up the Salvation trail at Wrights Hill Reserve. Her short fiction has appeared in a range of local and international publications and her debut short story collection Alternate: A Collection of 37 Stories is available from online retailers now. Melanie is part of the 40 percent of her household who has coeliac disease and she's been known to drive 30 minutes just for gluten-free dumplings and donuts. She'd prefer a cure to living gluten-freely ever after, but you take what you can get. Contaminate her toaster at your peril.
