Erika Jayne

Erika Jayne’s debut novel takes place in the United Kingdom, mainly London, Bath and Inverness. Injecting British humour and strong female characters into the fantasy genre – ‘Cherry Blossom Ball’ is a must-read for those who like their literary women to be feisty and have a bit of an attitude.When asked why she decided to create such strong female characters Erika said, “There aren’t enough around. I love a book where the female is there for a reason and not just there to be the love interest. Also I think people forget how strong us women actually are.”The novel is described as “Drawing on a lifelong enthusiasm for the vampyre genre, Erika has a solid basis for creating new and exciting plots. Her determination to set herself apart from most vampyre and supernatural fiction is clear throughout her novel. Long gone are the loving and attractive Vampyre’s, instead all these Vampyres want is your blood.“There are clear themes of honour and responsibility and hope and despair. Erika’s ability to create instantly relatable characters makes this debut novel a gripping read.”
