This website is a place for me to share information about my books, about writing, myself and other things I think are fun or useful. Anyone who loves books, reading and writing should find something interesting here - and any suggestions for new pages and topics can be sent to me on the link below. I update this site pretty frequently - more frequently when people are using it and sending me emails - so please check back often.

My full name is Zoë Davina Marriott and I was born on a rainy day in April twenty-something (God, I'm oooold!) years ago.

I've known that I wanted to be a writer since I finished reading my first book; 'The Magic Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton. I think I was about eight, but I've never changed my mind in all the years since then. 

My favourite film is 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' and my favourite colour is green.

I can't name a favourite book - there are far too many that I love. Favourite authors are Megan Whalen Turner, Terry Pratchett, Garth Nix, Mary Stewart, Jane Austen, Diana Wynne Jones, Sherwood Smith, Lois McMaster Bujold...and many more!

I'm blonde with green eyes, but I inherited my grandmother's redhead skin, which means that I don't tan at all, only burn (though I have some freckles on my nose, which I'm quite proud of).

I live in a little house in a town by the sea, with my two rescued cats, one called Hero after a Shakespearian character and one Echo after a nymph from a Greek myth.
