A Secret Born of Storms

Hazel McBride is the author of A Fate Forged in Fire and A Queen Crowned in Flames. She is originally from Scotland but lived in the Caribbean, Spain, and France before settling in the Netherlands with her Dutch husband. She is a former animal trainer and loves writing about magical and fantastical creatures. As a bisexual author with anxiety, McBride focuses on writing queer characters and exploring topics such as mental illness within her work. When she isn’t writing, she can be found eating chocolate (Galaxy only) and watching shows that fuel her daydreams about morally gray villains. At least until her incessantly energetic border collie forces her to get off the couch.
