Hazel McBride

Hazel McBride grew up in Scotland, gaining her BSc in Psychology at the University of Glasgow, before living in the Caribbean, Spain and France. She is now settled in the Netherlands with her Dutch husband and is fluent in four languages. As a former zookeeper, Hazel loves writing about magical and fantastical creatures and as a bisexual author with anxiety, she focuses on writing queer characters and exploring topics such as mental illness within her work. Most of her work draws heavy inspiration from her Scottish heritage and Celtic folklore. When she isn’t writing, Hazel can be found eating chocolate and watching shows that fuel her daydreams about morally grey villains – at least until her incessantly energetic border collie, Whiskey, forces her to get off the couch.
