"Constantine began her serious writing career by writing a novel which became the Wraeththu trilogy, (The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, The Bewitchments of Love and Hate, The Fulfillments of Fate and Desire, collectively known as the Wraeththu Chronicles). She came to the decision to throw herself into writing when, working at the library, she came to a realization: "This is it for the rest of my life. I’ve got to do something about it." Constantine had been working with the concept and characters of Wraeththu since the late 1970s. Constantine had a synopsis and outline completed when in the late 1980s she was at the Andromeda bookshop in Birmingham (operated by Rog Peyton) and had a chance encounter with a representative from MacDonald Futura (absorbed by Little, Brown Book Group in 1992) , who subsequently picked up the novels, which were published 1987-1989. Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit was nominated for the 1991 Lambda Literary Awards for category "Gay science fiction, fantasy or horror." In 1993, the trilogy was released in omnibus format by Tor in the United States. Beginning at the time of release and continuing on for decades, the trilogy developed a cult following, particularly in the Goth subculture among those interested in fiction tackling alternative sexuality.
