The Pixie Plot

Cara and Sally are the best of friends. As life takes them in different directions, grief and desire, moon dust and magic trigger a chain of events from which they will never recover. Holly and Ethan are the best of friends. While one child is harshly neglected the other is loved beyond measure. Their mothers' secrets and one wild promise bind them together in ways they may never truly fathom. Kate O'Brien presents her second novel, The Pixie Plot a dark tale of friendship, faerie folk and betrayal set against the backdrop of a tiny Yorkshire village. With a passion for gothic literature, magic realism and faerie folklore, Kate O'Brien's stories are inspired by local landscapes and places visited on bygone family holidays, now explored with her own children. Kate is the author of Driftwood and Amethyst. She writes stories and poetry which tiptoe on the edge of magic and folklore while rooting themselves in reality. She lives in South Yorkshire with her two sons and two cats and spends her days writing, teaching and being a mum all played out to a constant stream of good music.
