Elizabeth Wixley was born in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom but has moved many times during her childhood. She attended the Camberwell Art School and joined a design studio in Convent Garden. Moving to Bristol, some years later, she worked full time for the Local Education Authority supporting children suffering from emotional and behavioural difficulties, whilst ensuring that the transition into a mainstream school was done in a supportive and nurturing manner. Whilst providing children with a safe haven for learning, she raised two sons as a single parent while studying for a degree in education at the University of the West of England.
Her love of fiction started at the age of six when Elizabeth’s grandmother died of cancer and to ensure that the rest of the family was safe, she would spend the nights roaming the house looking for the 'C' monster to make sure that he did not claim any more victims.
One sunny bright day, her sister told her that fork lightning would come and strike her down after which she would spend her days hiding in the garage and when she heard that the sun was falling out of the sky, well needless to say, she very seldom ventured out.
With trial and error, Elizabeth soon realized to fight her foes, she had to stare them straight in the eye, explore them and conqueror the inner demons in order to stand righteous. This helps fuel her love of horror and the many mysteries of the world. Creating a why and what if scenario that runs prominent in her fascinating fiction.
Throughout Elizabeth’s life, creative arts have been her passion whether it is visiting galleries, painting or writing. She enjoys nothing more than sharing a compelling horror story with others and holding the sanity of her readers in the palm of her hand.

The ethereal mists that shroud Lucy Finnley's vision and the unsettling whispers carried by the wind leave her compelled to seek refuge within her new home, the Jack Rabbit Inn, nestled upon the weather-beaten high moor. Stepping across its threshold, she feels the weight of its storied past, where legends intertwine with the malevolent spirits lurking within its walls. Yet for Lucy, it offers a sanctuary from the turmoil gripping the world beyond.
Sheltering in the valley below is the village of Hawks Rise on the Moor, where harboured secrets are veiled beneath a facade of respectability. Attendance at the Sunday sermons delivered by the uncompromising Vicar is mandatory, his words ringing with condemnation against an ancient tribe's perceived evils.
In a narrative that slips seamlessly back in time, Henry Mulberry, heir to Mulberry Hall, navigates the challenges of stewarding vast lands and managing tenants, contending with Irish squatters, quarries, and mines. However, his familial duties overshadow any personal pursuits, with his attention divided amongst his wayward brother Oscar, his ailing father George, and the enigmatic Abbott Mathew.
As tensions escalate and past and future collide, the age-old question resurfaces: Who will prevail—the witches who seek solace in the moor's depths or the relentless witchfinders determined to unearth them? Amidst the swirling mists of fate, the answer remains shrouded in uncertainty.
