Add a smart, miserable 14 year old girl, Jade. She's the youngest of seven girls; teased and picked on; a misfit; her own mother doesn't get her. All she likes is books and botany.┬аAiki lives in Brisbane, Australia. Her stories have been shortlisted in the Aurealis awards and the Writers of the Future awards. When not writing, she runs a full time business. In her few spare hours, she practices martial arts, archery, knife-throwing, lute, bellydancing and art. Sometimes she even sleeps.
