Personal life

[edit]

Rhodes was born in Kent, England in 1978. Her education includes a BA Honors degree from the University of Wales, Newport. She was most notably involved in the post-production of cult Indie hit Cop on the Edge IX: A Prelude to Justice, a full-length underground movie spoof produced by Coten Films[1] and directed by Edward Keaton,[2] who at the time was studying under the tutorage of British Filmmaker Allan Niblo at Newport Film School; Niblo later went on to produce cult movies such as Human Traffic.[3] Released locally, the movie won the coveted student award for getting the crew the most suspensions from using the University film equipment.

Rhodes currently lives in Orange County, California,[4] with her husband Criss 6, former bassist of glam metal band Pretty Boy Floyd and Mötley Crüe tribute band True 2 Crue.

Works

[edit]

After graduating from the University of Wales, Rhodes was hired to write official movie novelizations for Black Flame,[5] an imprint of BL Publishing, the publishing arm of UK gaming giant Games Workshop.

Between 2004–2010, Rhodes penned eight[6] original novels and movie-based novelizations for BL Publishing[7] to support her post-university travels around America. Inspired by the colorful local characters she met in Hollywood, she wrote her first original novel Dante's Girl at the age of 28, the first part of a three-book series following the life of supernatural crime-fighter Kayla Steele.[8] Her supernatural trilogy was set on the streets of Los Angeles and was published by Solaris Books,[9] an imprint which focuses on science fiction, fantasy and dark fantasy novels and anthologies to showcase both established and new authors.[10] The series was distributed to the U.K. and U.S. booktrade via local divisions of Simon & Schuster.[11]

Her most recent fictional work was a short horror story, Crazy Train, set in the world of the Los Angeles heavy metal scene. It was published as part of an anthology of new horror writers[12] in The End of the Line: An Anthology of Underground Horror by Rebellion Books.[13]

Rhodes currently works at BlackBerry Limited as Principal Threat Research Publisher[14] of two digital publications: ThreatVector, an award-winning cybersecurity blog,[15][16] and PHI Magazine,[17] BlackBerry's bi-annual print publication focusing on the past, present and future of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the information security industry.

She was recently credited as a contributor/editor of the first non-fiction book produced by the cyber division of the company, Finding Beacons In The Dark: A Guide to Cyber Threat Intelligence,[18][19] a practical guide to cyber threat hunting.
