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 Ava Morwood
Dark, suspenseful contemporary thrillers, laden with the eeriness of folklore and the secrets buried in the British landscape. UNTIL WE DROWN is published by HarperNorth. See AvaMorwood.com for details!
“This spine-tingling novel is a suspenseful twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s dark tale The Little Mermaid, where love, loss, and the lure of the water collide in a terrifying crescendo.”
And 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
UNTIL WE DROWN
Available in hardback, ebook and audio
- Interview on BBC Radio Derby
It was lovely chatting to Ian Skye of BBC Radio Derby on 9th April, the publication day for UNTIL WE DROWN (written as Ava Morwood). We talked about researching locations and folklore of the Peak District, and how some real-life encounters began to shape the book.
The interview is available on Listen Again at 1:42 minutes.
