edit data

I’m Adelaide Newton, author of Otaku Trash and The Blood Twins. Although I use Adelaide on my covers, I much prefer being called Addy.

I graduated from the Bath Spa BA Creative Writing course in 2013.

At the crack of dawn and at the weekend, you can find me typing away at my WIP in my office. By day, I work as a Marketing Executive for a law firm.

In the times in-between, you can find me striding across the hills of the Mendips, baking, cooking, reading, watching anime, playing on my Switch, or rocking out to music.

I’m based in Wiltshire, UK.
