Ruth Warburton (edit name/settings)

Marcella-Louise edited the overview of Ruth Warburton Friday, November 4, 2011.

• I was born and brought up in Sussex on the south coast of England, and I spent most of my childhood in the town of Lewes; a small town with a long history. At university I studied English Language and Literature at the University of Manchester, and the course included Old English and Middle English texts. While I was researching A Witch in Winter I found myself returning to them, in particular to Beowulf and Le Morte D’Arthur. Seeds from these mixed with ancient Mesopotamian demons, Voodoo spells, Tudor superstitions and 15th century witch-hunting guides to create the Winter Trilogy. Now I live in North London in a house full of boys, and I work as a publicist in the day, and a writer by night.
