Grovelling apologies if you’ve been invited via Facebook as well… I’m speaking about BloodMining with another debut author next month, and it would be marvellous to see a few friendly faces in the audience. Details below. Thank you for listening,

Is a true mother the woman who gives birth, or the one who provides the nurturing? How far will a mother go to ensure her child’s survival? And what prompts a mother to abandon her offspring?
Laura Wilkinson’s BloodMining and Rachel Connor’s Sisterwives conjure a world in which the traditional nuclear family and women’s roles are questioned, and where ethical and spiritual beliefs are put to the test. Laura and Rachel talk about their debut works and the journey to publication.

I've read Bloodmining and enjoyed it immensely. If anyone is interested in the metaphysics of motherhood, I'd thoroughly recommend it.

 

Thanks, Richard. You're lovely!

Me too! It's a darn good book - original and gripping. If you can get along to this then I'd recommend it.
