"Life on the dole was easy that summer, and the dealers made housecalls. Doomsday had passed for Caitlin, or so it seemed, until her friends in the backstreets started dropping like flies. Leonie Stevens was born in 1962. At the age of eleven, frustrated by the plot limitations of Lost in Space, she wrote her first story. This was her first mature novel, published in 1994. Since then she has written two more novels. Her stories have appeared in magazines, anthologies, on the radio and the Net. She loves Martin Scorsese films and currently lives in Melbourne with her family. Inscription in the first page." Source: Book Description.
