Praise & Reviews

SkyBlue was everything my gothic-loving heart wanted and a clever take on the Bluebeard myth that turns the eponymous villain into someone sympathetic and (oh yes) hauntingly swoonworthy. An atmospheric fairytale that will have readers sighing from the lush prose and begging for more.

 McKelle George, author of 

Speak Easy, Speak Love

[SkyBlue] is a feminist reinterpretation of the Bluebeard story which is also suitable for readers familiar with Bluebeard, who want to look at that story in a very different light.

About the Author

M. P. Halliday sadly did not receive the foreordained call to be the next vampire Slayer, though she counts herself an honorary Watcher. She loves ghost stories and period dramas, spooky season and thunderstorms. If she could live in a haunted house, she would, but instead lives in Woodstock, Georgia with her husband, their irascible corgi, three feminist guinea pigs, and a horde of non-magical plants that can't be killed.
