Antonia Hodgson was born in Derby and studied English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds. She moved to London in 1994 where she began a career in publishing.
Her first completed novel was a gothic mystery with multiple narrators, some of them vampires. It took her five years to complete. When she started, no one was writing about vampires. By the time she’d finished, everyone was heartily sick of vampires. But that’s fine, she learned a lot and no you can’t read it.

Antonia Hodgson recommends

A Snake Among Swans (2026)
(Wild Swans, book 1)
Hannah Kaner
"A bold, powerful new fantasy epic, A Snake Among Swans is as treacherous and enticing as a magic forest. Hannah Kaner weaves together a compelling tale of blood, tyranny and magic, where every choice demands sacrifice, and every move risks death. Intricate, dramatic and unflinching, it's a brilliant start to what is sure to be a captivating series."

Fyneshade (2023)
Kate Griffin
"Dark, heady and bold, Fyneshade is a seductive treat, with a protagonist who is both wicked and irresistible. I was entranced from the first page to the last."

Midnight at Malabar House (2020)
(Malabar House, book 1)
Vaseem Khan
"Vaseem Khan's new book is an absolute treat from start to finish. A satisfying murder mystery and a fascinating evocation of India just after Partition, it also introduces the clever, endearing (and somewhat stubborn) Detective Persis Wadia to the world. I'm already looking forward to her next case."
