Recklessly galloping across the fields as a child, her pony became a unicorn or a winged Pegasus; the yellow-eyed goats were crafty Satyrs and the open Scottish moorland around the house was home to all manner of secretive creatures heard but rarely seen. <br \/><br \/>She has always enjoyed creating characters and setting them in a fictional environment where our normal has an unusual twist. However, it was first during a lazy summer holiday, that she actually began writing down the scenes popping into her head. Those ideas took root and developed, the characters quickly taking on a life of their own, and before she knew it, a series was taking shape.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Today, she lives in the middle of the UK squeezing in her writing around a full-time job.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:table --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34be5d3 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34be5d3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7267dd2 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7267dd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/author\/B009WS3DT6\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"142\" height=\"62\" src=\"https:\/\/franceshowitt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Amazon.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-858\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5281abf elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5281abf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/stores\/author\/B009WS3DT6\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"151\" height=\"52\" src=\"https:\/\/franceshowitt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Amazon.co_.uk_.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-860\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83fba97 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"83fba97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&#038;q=frances+howitt&#038;search_type=books&#038;search%5Bfield%5D=author\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"265\" height=\"63\" src=\"https:\/\/franceshowitt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/goodreads-logo.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-1243\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bit about the Author The author has always had a love of books and the intriguing places they&#8217;d lead her imagination.
