PSC Willis is a graduate of both Newcastle and Reading Universities (UK) and currently lives in Shanghai. Writing fits in alongside a day job as a speech and language therapist, and takes many forms. Firstly, as an avid text-based role-player since the age of fifteen, creating and sharing online adventures with friends, and now also as an active member of the Shanghai Writing Workshop. Both groups have been a huge influence and support, and receive heartfelt thanks. ‘I Take Credit…’ is P’s first published piece. Other current projects include polishing several short stories and looking for homes for them, and editing a YA novel. P likes to write stories that allow others to believe in good people, in magic, or sometimes both, and aims to make the world a better place through stories. Twitter: @psc_willis
