About
Pushcart Prize nominee, Freya Pickard is the quirky, unusual author of The Kaerling series, an epic fantasy set in the strange and wonderful world of Nirunen. A cancer survivor, she writes mainly dark fantasy tales and creates expressive poetry in order to rest the prose side of her brain. Her aim in life is to enchant, entertain and engage with readers through her writing. She finds her inspiration in the ocean, the moors, beautifully written books and vinyl music (particularly heavy metal and rock). Her most recent relaxation techniques to get her through lockdown include hatha yoga and painting landscapes and monsters in watercolour.



On this blog Freya unashamedly promotes her books and also shares her opinions about other people’s books, films, TV shows as well as music.
For readers who want to find out about new and discounted books, she provides a Newsletter. When you sign up to Freya’s Newsletter you can download a free short story, as well as receiving one free short story every year!
For Freya’s hardcore fans, there’s also the option to donate either $1 or $5 on Patreon every month in exchange for her unique poetry postcards and unpublished short stories as well as other goodies!
You can find Freya on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter at @FreyasClippings. On Twitter she shares themed tweets every other day. She can also be found on Twitter at @purehaikufp and @FreyaPickard
If you’re squeamish about death, blood, raw meat or immorality, Freya’s books probably aren’t for you. But if you are broad minded, enjoy lyrical writing and can accept the darkness along with the light, read on …

But if you are broad minded, enjoy lyrical writing and can accept the darkness along with the light, read on … <– I Love this! I personally believe the darkness is an implicit prerequisite for "light."

Thank you lastflyingcow (brilliant name!) Thank you for reading my About page! Having gone through a very dark time, I now appreciate that without darkness, you cannot understand the light! I’ve tried putting this in my books to encourage people to embrace bad times as well as good times, but unfortunately, not a lot of people want to hear this!

Thank you! Yes, as per the duality of YIN/YANG and the lectures of Alan Watts I’ve also come to understand that darkness and light is a duality, and not necessarily separate entities.
