Write to us

We can't even begin to tell you how wonderful today's guest is! Please welcome Gothic Historical author Rozina Hyland to Page Fright! In this episode, Rozina shared many lovely stories with us and provided a unique glimpse into her writing journey as an autistic and dyslexic author who's publishing her first novel, Of Her Blood.

From the adorably bizarre stories she created as a child, to abandoning writing altogether after being shamed by educators, her eventual return as an author and her cultivation of community is as awesome as it is inspiring! Rozina also shares writing craft tips which allowed her to complete Of Her Blood's first draft in only three short months.
