Shona Clingham is a 40ish female and a mother.

She loves literature—it’s a slow-burning conversation across most barriers, including time.

Her writing moves between fiction and essays, exploring how shame and authority shape inner and outer worlds, and how clarity and wholeness emerge after fracture. She explores the dynamics of power and perception, and the consequences of seeing what we are encouraged not to.

She is the author of Blood’s Veil and the fantasy series, Immisceo.

She was born on the island of St Helena; for anyone who doesn’t know, try Google maps — yes, that’s it: the little dust-speck of a gem in the middle of the South Atlantic. She has spent more than half her life in the UK and currently lives in Somerset with her partner and daughter.
