Hi everyone! My name is Rivka Spicer and
I’m an author living in the far, frozen north of Scotland. Tilly has really
kindly allowed me to post on her blog today so I thought I’d use the
opportunity to tell you about my new book, Bloodlines.
It’s a post-apocalyptic dystopian Young
Adult story following Piper and Kael as they navigate first love under the
shadow of The Enclave. The official blurb is:
In
the years after a virus wiped out most of the population, humanity was
teetering on the brink of extinction and the new governing body enforced a law
for survival; at the age of 16, all girls must travel to The Enclave, where
they will spend two years producing children to ensure the propagation of the
species.
9
generations later, Piper doesn’t want to go. Educated by parents that taught
her to read and write, she sees The Enclave as a violation of her rights.
Unable to escape her captors, she is plunged into a race against time to
uncover the dark secrets and betrayals perpetuated by The Enclave. If she
fails, she loses her right to choose the man she loves.
It was inspired by a discussion I had about
A Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. If providing children was a duty, what
would the impact of that be? Particularly when it comes
at an age where everything is confusing.

me to talk about anything, please see my links below. I’m also a textile
artist, jewellery maker and general craftster in the little free time that I
have outside of writing, so you can speak to me about anything and I’ll
probably be on board!
