Aspasia
wrote her first short story at the age of six and illustrated it with
a pink highlighter. She no longer does illustrations but she's been
writing stories ever since. She lives in Toronto with her partner in
crime, three cats, a plethora of plants, and a Disney movie's worth
of wildlife in the yard. Her dark fantasy novel Love Lies Bleeding is
now available in paperback and on Kindle. She is currently working on
the next book.
GUEST POST
Guest Post: About the Names
Aspasía S. Bissas
While some of the
names in Love Lies Bleeding are just random ones I chose
because I liked them or thought they suited the character, a couple
are more significant. Emma means mother in Estonian (ema),
which seemed appropriate for my oldest and most prolific vampire; it
also sounds like the Greek word for blood (αίμα). Ash is short
for Ashwin, a Hindu name that means “a star” (a good name for an
actor, I thought). I also gave him the middle name Devin, which means
“resembling a god.” And Mara, short for Amarantha, means
“unwilting” or “unfading.” It also ties in to the title of
the book because Love-Lies-Bleeding is a plant in the Amaranthus
genus, which shares a root and meaning with Amarantha. As a botanist,
plants are important to Mara, particularly this plant (as readers
will discover). The title fits the story in other ways, as well.
