Starblood was written during a difficult period of my life. The first book became a trilogy and then, in 2018, Freya returned to my dreams and told me her story wasn’t finished.

The antagonist is a woman who rages at the world and the protagonists are searching for their places in that world.Ī note from the author – “Days before my 40th birthday, in 2011, Starblood was released by Stone Circle Publishing. The Starblood series has strong women at its heart, with themes of sexuality – including bisexuality, and self-identity. The Starblood series and diversity in horror – Diversity and representation might be current buzzwords, but they are also important. Who can judge whether the self-destructive human psyche or obsessed demon-child is the more dangerous force?

She belongs with these people and the only way she will heal is with the soothing balm of their love. Part of her is relieved, glad she came to face them all. They know her suffering, too many have shared in it, and they understand what it costs her to answer Jessica’s summons. She has shut herself away from these friends for months, but they do not complain. It would be too easy to drink herself into oblivion, but she has a responsibility to those who believe in her, who know she is more than a working mother who lost her son and uses sick notes to avoid the office while in mourning. Her heart is a boulder that weighs her down. Bill stands up to fetch another, but she lunges gracelessly and grabs his sleeve, pulling him back. Her gunmetal-grey eyes soften as she downs the dregs of her fourth rum and Frangelico cocktail in a half-hearted attempt to drown her self-pity.

Her long black hair is pulled back from her shield-shaped face in a messy bun. Marian Michaels, even in her fifties, is an attractive woman.
