D'Arcy Everette

Biography

D’Arcy Everette is an Australian mother, educator, and writer. Bloodless was written as autobiographical fiction based on actual events, with the aim of assisting the processing of sexual and emotional abuse, not only for the author, but also for others. Bloodless offers genuine insight for those who desire deeper understanding of this realm of persistent, and often, indissoluble trauma.
So, one aspect of her speaking out is that it constitutes a journey towards her healing. But more than that, she hopes this sharing helps towards healing for others who have also borne the shadow of that world of overwhelming and enduring cruelty. She encourages others to heal too, in a way that benefits them.
(Please be advised that some scenes of Bloodless may be distressing for some readers. Bloodless also contains some adult language and sexual content.)

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a large, strict Catholic family, cloistered in many ways from the real world. I was naïve and trepidatious, particularly about offending God, and the state of my soul. My father loved us, but was controlling and rigid, and my mother loved us too, but became downtrodden, worn out, overwhelmed, and voiceless. My childhood and adolescent experiences, particularly that of being drugged and raped, are what created this very personal memoir, Bloodless.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing in my early life as a way of 'saving myself'. I would write to my Angel, and to Mother Mary, and pray to them to help me. I also wrote poems about my feelings and the beauty I saw in the world - things I could not share with anyone else, but felt I needed to share in some way. Writing them down helped with this, and also helped during those times when I felt very alone and misunderstood. Reading what I had written helped me to feel as if I had a friend who understood.

They lie in wait, surreptitiously stalking. Each one, Incubus, hunting vulnerable ones, trusting ones, gullible ones. That’s what sexual predators do. Prey. In the dark. In the wild. And sometimes, in the not supposed to be wild. They’re the worst kind, camouflaged by decency, civility, things of status, their jungle, civilised society. BLOODLESS: ONE SURVIVOR'S STORY (Includes sexual behaviour)
