Produktbeschreibung

In The Rustling of Silver Fishes, a woman who has been unable to fully bond with her daughter finds she's become extremely affectionate after an encounter with genetically-modified wildlife.

Witchbabe: A woman suffering from infertility seeks remediation for her condition from an unusual source.

And a daughter seeks a cure for her mother's illness across time and space in Spindrift on the Seas of Time. Ironically, the mother was the one seeking the cure before she became infected herself.

These stories all have female parent protagonists, and their common theme is of women's experiences of parenthood not turning out as expected. Consequences tend to be appropriate to the situation.

Autorenporträt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Helen Claire Gould has been writing since her teens, having read her first two Science Fiction novels at the age of nine. At the Peterborough SF Club, where she met her husband, she contributed to the club fanzine A Change of Zinery. After suffering some miscarriages in 1992 she began writing for therapeutic reasons, joining Orbiters (SF postal writing workshops) and setting up the Peterborough Science Fiction Writers' Group. She edited two small press collections of short fiction, Shadows on a Broken Wall and Mother Milk, Father Flywheel, organised a weekend workshop on writing for comics, and had book reviews published in the BSFA review magazine, Vector.

Returning to full-time education in 1995, Helen graduated in Geology and Planetary science in 2000, teaching Geology and Creative Writing evening classes, and editing further collections of short fiction by her Creative Writing students. In 2013 she organised and ran a series of writers' workshops for the Peterborough Arts Festival.

Floodtide was Helen's first published novel, and was set in her own fictional universe. The Stallion is an ecological fantasy loosely based in that universe. She... is a collection of original short stories, not based in that universe, with a background theme of fertility and motherhood.
