Jessica Meats

Jessica Meats published her first novel, Child of the Hive, in 2009 and since then has written a selection of science fiction and fantasy novels and novellas. Some are light-hearted fun, like the ridiculously silly superhero parody The Adventures of Technicality Man, while others take a more serious tone, like Wolf Unleashed which explores themes of abuse, discrimination, and racism in a world where werewolves are fighting to be seen as people.

Working in the IT industry, Jessica uses her love of technology to inspire some of her creations, while letting her imagination run free with the rest. Alongside her works of fiction, she has also written some technical material, including a book on creating electronic forms for SharePoint.

As a bi-romantic, asexual author, she is keen to help drive the improve the representation of queer characters and to support other queer writers, especially in the SF&F space. This includes listing SF&F queer book recommendations on her website http://plot-twister.co.uk.

Summary:

Long ago, the village of Shrind sacrificed people to the monsters in the forest. Now the howling has started again, and a village elder has chosen Parton to be the next sacrifice. Left to die for having shared a kiss with the elder's son, Parton receives more compassion from the supposed monster than from those who had been his friends and neighbours. In the heart of the woods, learning to accept himself may be a harder lesson than learning to accept the monster.

Summary: Werewolves are kept as slaves. Exploited to perform dangerous labour, or kept as exotic pets by rich sadists who want a status symbol, werewolves have no rights. When Crystal’s brother is bitten by a rogue werewolf, her family is advised to think of him as dead. But she refuses to forget him. Looking for news from within the werewolf community leads her to purchase Thomas, a rebellious werewolf with a string of abusive former owners. Crystal and Thomas must learn to trust each other enough to help solve each other’s problems. Together, they can work to build a movement aimed at bringing rights and justice to all. This is an urban fantasy, paranormal romance with a difference. It teems with intersectional issues of race, gender, and sexual identity. This is a story of injustice and anger, of love and compassion, of rebellion and hope.

Summary: With one tug the thread unravels, and a world built on lies will come tumbling down Too many bodies. Rivers of blood. Elias Kote sees them all in his sleep. Only the love of his husband and daughter keeps him alive and fighting. This contract killer is exhausted and weighed down with all the lies he tells every day. Who he is. What he does. How he came to have all he has. Elias can attest to nothing remaining hidden forever, but his secrets, when they do drop, shatters everything. Everyone. And leaves him scrambling to make his family whole again. Ten years together. Three legally wed. One with their daughter. And in one night Lucky Mousasi’s world just…stops. What he thought was a random home invasion turns into way more. Masked men not only brutalize him, but they come armed with knowledge about Lucky, his husband, and the life he thought he knew. It seems nothing is coincidental, certainly not meeting and falling in love with Elias. Bruised, battered, heart ripped open, Lucky walks away. An intimate rival will stop at nothing to neutralize the threat Elias poses, and the life he built out of guilt and desperation becomes collateral damage. When Lucky takes their daughter and disappears, Elias goes on a rampage. He will get his family back, but first he’s on an elimination mission. One bullet at a time.
