Emma Tom [Emma Jane] was born in November 1969, and grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney. She was the bass player for The Titanics. The band only lasted a couple of years (1999-2000) but they did manage to record two albums, 'Size Isn't Everything' and 'Love Is The Devil'. She also performed in another group - All Girl Band - a six-piece women's act specialising in performing classic cock rock in push-up bras. Jane has written ten books including
Deadset, a first novel which won the 1998 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book for South East Asia and the South Pacific.
