The Evening Wolf Series
Amelia Moore 
Who is Elizabeth and where did I get her from? Like most writers (I think), there is a little bit of me in all my characters. When I write, I ‘sort of’ become them. Logic says we draw on our own experiences, feelings, hopes and dreams … and our demons, to get inside the characters … Read more

That is because each one of the books tells the story of the female line of ‘cunning folk’, healers and midwives of old, going back through the centuries.
