Anne Bishop – författare

Blodets dotter utspelar sig i en värld som styrs av blodet: häxor och krigsprinsar med magiska krafter. Blodets samhälle är ett matriarkat, men maktlystnad och girighet har förvridit sederna och skapat ondska.In i detta samhälle föds en ovanligt stark häxa som är förutbestämd att bli blodets drottning och skulle kunna ställa allt till rätta … men som inte passar in i normen. Hon klarar inte det hon borde samtidigt som hon utan svårighet gör förbluffande saker som ingen annan kan och som är så osannolika att hennes egen familj inte tror på henne.Kommer hon att krossas av de onda som styr eller lyckas hon få den hjälp hon behöver för att överleva och nå sin fulla potential?"Frikostigt sensuell … en rikt detaljerad värld där de vanliga klichéerna i genren är omvända." - Library Journal"Förtrollande … En mörk och fascinerande värld som absolut är värd ett besök." - Locus Magazine"Mörk, makaber, olycksbådande, och ändå håller den en helt fascinerad och fängslad med sin skönhet … En av de mest originella och läsvärda böckerna inom fantasy." - The 11th Hour

Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others--vampires, shape-shifters, and even deadlier paranormal beings. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget.... After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence, in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns such as Vicki's don't have any distance from the Others, the dominant predators who rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what is out there watching you. Vicki was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger, Aggie Crowe--one of the shape-shifting Others--discovers a murdered man, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, ancient forces are roused by the disturbance in their domain. They have rules that must not be broken--and all the destructive powers of nature at their command.

Already I have found myself quoting Anne Bishop's wisdom: her simple advice is compelling. Right now in Australia she has the power to lead us as we struggle with questions of guilt, responsibility and patterns of oppression which are 'larger than ourselves'.Rev. Tim Costello, President, Baptist Union of AustraliaBecoming an Ally is must reading for anyone concerned with understanding and challenging the dynamics, forms, and sources of oppression-whether it is their own oppression, that of others, or both.Bob Mullaly is Head of Social Work at Victoria University, Melbourne Where does oppression come from? Has it always been with us, just 'human nature'? What can we do to change it? What does individual healing have to do with the struggles for social justice? What does social justice have to do with individual healing? Why do members of the same oppressed group fight each other, sometimes more viciously than their oppressor? Why do some who experience oppression develop a life-long commitment to fighting oppression, while others turn around and oppress others? Anne Bishop draws on her many years experience in community work to write this feisty and bestselling guide for activists, community workers and welfare workers.

Anne Bishop’s “erotic, fervently romantic, [and] superbly entertaining” (Booklist) novel Sebastian introduced readers to the realm of Ephemera. Now, the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author continues her tale of light and darkness...  The Eater of the World is casting its shadow over the landscapes of Ephemera, tainting people’s souls with doubts and fears. Only Glorianna Belladonna possesses the ability to thwart the Eater—but she is not alone. In dreams, a call has traveled beyond the Landscapes—“Heart’s hope lies within Belladonna”—and reached Michael, a man with mysterious powers of his own. Together, they may offer Ephemera the very hope it needs.
