Burn House Publishing asked Megan Allen:

Both The Slave Players and The Meat Hunter feature young female characters with complicated relationships with their fathers. Mothers aren’t present in either book or in the lives of the young female protagonists. What is it about the father/daughter relationship that you’re drawn to? Why no mothers?

Megan Allen My mother died when I was young and of course our personal experiences leak into the works of fiction we create. However, I have a great relationship with my dad which isn’t at all cold or complicated like the one presented in The Meat Hunter (though he may disagree when I come to his house to lounge on the couch for weeks at a time, demanding food). The fiction I write is all just fantasy, with a lot of me infused into it.
