Mae Jess Doyle (@jcdoyley) yn awdur ffuglen arswyd a ffantasi, a chafodd ei mentora gan Kat Ellis. "Rwy’n teimlo nad yw bod yn awdur yn ymwneud ag ysgrifennu’n unig gan bod lledaenu cariad at y celfyddydau hefyd yn rhan mawr o’r yrfa."

Fright Bite fun facts: the night at the Neon Perch takes place on Colette's birthday, which is the same as my sister's - 4th December. The book is also dedicated to my sister because I used to bite her.
