Petra can't seem to decide on a genre, but really likes telling stories.

She's written four books:

Riddled with Senses - a magic realism tale set in the 90s, with drugs, love and a trip to Hell.

Peddling Doomsday - about a female-led messianic cult that spirals out of control.

Supernice - a story of an alien invasion, where humans are told to be nice or suffer the consequences.

AND NOW The Catford Catastrophe Zone. A dystopian science fiction thriller set in the future about an undercover cop sent to spy on a rebellion in a chaotic and terrifying poverty zone.

Petra works as a gardener in Central London. She likes cats, dismantling stuff and snoozing.

Special skills include causing chaos, writing backwards and losing things.

Quotes by Petra Jacob  (?)

“Nobody mentions it, but there are two types of insanity. One is the unstable mind, that's the one they make films about, the romantic insanity, a person out of control and capable of almost anything. But the other is the madness of the stable mind, where behaviour is illogical and damaging but every day it is exactly the same.”
Petra Jacob

“As we charge the night we leer at pedestrians, the harder I stare, the faster they walk and we skip and jive in their shadows. They pull their coats round as a barrier, faces burning, I could crush their bones in the treads of my trainers, but I let them scamper away. We collect items to aid us in our quest, a shopping trolley, a brick, a single shoe. One petulant husk mutters,

"There must be something meaningful you can do with your time," and we soak up his words and shudder with complete incomprehension – we are walking with the Gods, what is more meaningful than that?”
Petra Jacob, Riddled With Senses
