In March and June, 2017, I saw my two favourite bands, Haken and Caligula’s Horse, perform live. Both gigs were in intimate venues in London. Both events led me on an emotional rollercoaster - an experience I wanted to convey in a story. I also wanted to capture the ‘magic’ of those shows, but portray it as something real, physical, as opposed to metaphorical.
Both bands have a loyal following of passionate fans. The atmosphere at their live shows, along with other gigs I’ve attended, leaves a powerful and lasting impression. It feels like an exchange has taken place between the crowd and the band. This notion of exchange, and the sense of magic behind the transaction, was the inspiration for 'Bluemantle'.

My new novel, KLOVA, will be published in January 2024. I am currently working with the publisher on copy editing, proof reading and cover design. An exciting stage in the journey!
KLOVA is high-concept, accessible science fiction - and I can't wait to share it with you all! Look me up on Twitter (@karenlangston_a) and Instagram (@karenlangstonauthor) for updates.
