Tabatha Wood lives in New Zealand and writes weird, dark fiction and uplifting poetry. Despite her obsession with the strange and unusual, she considers herself mostly harmless. A former English teacher and library manager, Tabatha’s first published books were non-fiction guides for those working in education. She now teaches from home while writing in her spare time. Her debut collection, DARK WINDS OVER WELLINGTON made the shortlist for a Sir Julius Vogel award in 2020 for Best Collected Work.
