Liz Blackwell had no idea she would see her rotten ex-boyfriend stagger into the street transformed into a ghoul, but then Kenneth always was a creep. If that's not enough, the mother of all Apocalypses hits her little town and she and her friends are swamped in terrors no graphic novel prepared them for! It's time for this riot grrrl to pull up her big girl panties and deal.

"The writing was lively and energetic. Heavily feminist, heavily LGBTQ. It starts off with a girl whose brother is turning into a monster (well, he always was a monster, just, now it's literal). More, he's at the epicenter of an outbreak, but it's no normal outbreak. Combining viral-infectious stuff with possession/supernatural stuff, it's starting to look like the beginning of the end. Which it is..."; The Horror Fiction Review

"Think mature Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland and find themselves in the middle of The Walking Dead.Hip, real, scary, and subversively funny, with complex and deeply moving characters. Blood Flowers, The Blackwell Chronicles are urban fantasy for today..." Scary After Dark

Blood Flowers: The Blackwell Chronicles

Part One:

Liz Blackwell didn't ask for any of it. You're living your life, dealing with the ups and downs it throws at you, and wham! The mother of all apocalypses hits you. Your ex is an uber-ghoul, your LGBTQQI activist neighbor's a witch, undead people are everywhere. Thankfully your best friend has your back - but nobody could expect the terror, love, tragedy and outright weird humor awaiting Liz and her companions as they struggle to cope with the bitter vision of a profane witch and a tragic scientist dying of AIDS. Sentient zombies who think and feel, the awakening of Warrior Woman, legend of the Lakota, and the revelation of a legacy of power are a lot for a riot grrrl from plain old Lawton, USA to handle, but handle Liz must. Including facing her own hidden powers.

Part Two

"We are not a fairytale". So Liz Blackwell is forewarned about Eboni, land of the witches. Her world under siege by s plague of monstrosities, Liz is sent to petition the Ten Wise in the forbidding and magnificent Pavilion of Seasons. A place of wonder and terror, Eboni yields its' secrets to Liz with unexpected joy - and at a terrible price. Full of unexpected twists, wonderful characters, and frightening evils, part two brings Liz Blackwell and her friends to a critical turning point.

Part Three

"It's called a summoning of tales." From Liz's trial by fire with the demonic Cortell to the erotic moon dance on Calo Isle, the chilling mystery of the Yakuza compound in the "Village Of Flies" to the riotous zombie controlled ghetto in La Chica prison and the horror of a dingy street in London, Liz and her friends must weave together a whole cloth of truth to choose their path.
