Celebrate the launch of the third book in Jane Croft's gothic Blood Red Trilogy at Sheffield Plate

Join Sheffield indie author, J. C. O’Neill, as she celebrates the release of A Blood Red Soul, the third book of her Blood Red Trilogy. She would love it if you could join her for a complementary drink at Sheffield Plate where she'll be in conversation with our founder, Beverley Ward, talking about the Gothic novel, Independent Publishing, and her mission to find the best scone in the North of England.

The Blood Red Trilogy is a Modern Gothic fantasy series set in Sheffield and the North of England that deals with the themes of female oppression and the control of the female heart, mind and soul. Woven with Northern mythology, complex female characters and the power of female friendship, The Blood Red Trilogy intricately builds a rich world of ancient Magic and modern conflicts; a landscape redolent with atmosphere, psychological depth and Northern England's dark and blood-soaked history.

The series began with A Blood Red Heart. Lonely, exhausted and carrying a dark secret, Dr Charlie Hart can’t remember her past – but it refuses to forget her.

The series continued in A Blood Red Mind. Charlie attends a glittering aristocratic birthday party – only to find it haunted by the dead.

The final book of the trilogy is A Blood Red Soul. In a heart-rending journey that carries her from the North York Moors to Whitby Abbey, Charlie Hart finally comes into her birthright of blood – and the long-awaited storm begins.

About J.C. O'Neill

J. C. O’Neill only began writing to amuse a relative following their cancer diagnosis; and a few chapters turned into an inadvertent trilogy of novels. She has degrees in law and medicine and had the privilege of working for the National Health Service for thirty-two years. She lives, works and writes in Sheffield, but was born in Cumbria, so is a true Northerner. She has three kids, one dog, a Mr O’Neill and a fondness for McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives. She didn’t mean to write a modern Gothic fantasy trilogy; it wrote her.
