Cate Gardner was a writer who lived with her pet raven Time in her flat. Cate wrote a novella called Theatre of Curious Acts, whose fans persistently sent her Barbed Wire Hearts. One fan fell into a local river while holding a copy of the novella, and he was preserved as an ice sculpture at the local gallery. (PROSE: Contributors)
