Her earlier novels, A Blackbird in Silver (1986), A Blackbird in Darkness (1986), A Blackbird in Amber (1988) and A Blackbird inTwilight (1988), have now been reissued by Immanion Press both in both separate and omnibus editions. Her short stories have appeared in various anthologies, the latest of which is Myth-Understandings published by Newcon Press…
Freda has spent most of her life in Leicestershire, England, where she has also worked in graphic design and various arts and crafts.
Her new novel Elfland (2009) will be published in hard cover in the US by Tor in August 2009 with a beautiful cover by KY Craft. She is currently working on a new book for Tor entitled Midsummer Night.
