AnnMarie Eldon was born in Birmingham, England and raised in one tiny 2 up 2 down house in a terrace which inspired her nom de plume. She has been in previous incarnations, wife, psychotherapist, corporate wizardatrix. To September 2001 she divided her sense of irony between homes in the US and UK; now attempts her escape from mediocrity within the confines of a picturesque Oxfordshire town, juggling hormones, various children, and dogs. She is currently extending the dada concepts of Arp and Duchamp into written form, slicing and splicing a literary-infinite into 'tossed and found' pieces. Her work has, is, or will be found at Can We Have Our Ball Back, Conspire, Fire Magazine, Junket, Locust, Meeting of the Minds, Melic Review, Mipo, Mipo-Print, Muse Apprentice Guild, Niederngass, Ophelia's Muse, PN Review, Tryst, Write-Away!, Writers' Hood.
