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
