Hi, I’m Ali!
I love to write stories with a little bit of magic at their heart and often more than a little of the strange. My novels include A COLD SEASON, PATH OF NEEDLES, THE HIDDEN PEOPLE, THE CROW GARDEN and MISTLETOE.
“Hugely enjoyable – perfect reading for a dark winter’s night” – The Richard and Judy Book Club, of A Cold Season
I also write as A. J. Elwood
Latest title: THE OTHER LIVES OF MISS EMILY WHITE.
“A. J. Elwood has carved a solid reputation with her spooky and hauntingly beautiful historical fiction. This novel is no exception, and its brilliance surely cements her place as one of the finest British writers working today in any genre” – Tim Lebbon, author of The Silence
- An interview and a Strange Little Story
I have been interviewed by Matt, AKA my favourite Womble, at Run Along the Shelves.
It includes writing short stories, travel, my favourite short story writers and some book recommendations…
Matt also recently reviewed my collection, A Curious Cartography.
I recently wrote a Strange Little Story for David Surface’s newsletter, which he describes as ‘A place where writers and readers can explore the connection between real life and imagination, and what it means to be haunted.’ Mine is about the Burial Isle, one of the Isles of Glencoe. For more information, see Strange Little Stories.
