Author Notes:Fiona Carswell is the mother of two boys - one autistic and the other neurotypical - and lives in East Lothian, Scotland. By day, she is a publicist in the Arts & Books sector, promoting (other people's) books, literary prizes, book festivals, cultural projects, venues and events. In her spare time, Fiona writes occasionally for the Scottish press - mainly the Scotsman - and enjoys flying the flag for Autism Awareness Week each year, giving readers a glimpse into a world they may know very little about and which can be as hilarious as it is challenging, as life-affirming as it is sometimes heart-breaking, and as brilliantly, heart-burstingly bananas as it can be serious, overwhelming and utterly terrifying. The Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind is Fiona's first book.
