Edward Lucas White (1866–1934) was born in Bergen, New Jersey. He attended Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and lived there for the rest of his life. Though he wrote poems and historical novels, he is best known for his horror stories, two of the most famous being ‘The House of the Nightmare’ and ‘Lukundoo’. Both stories were based on his nightmares and combine themes of ghosts, mysticism and the macabre. Throughout his life, a work he returned to again and again was his utopian novel Plus Ultra – it was never published, but is estimated to be around half a million words in length.

Wooldridge, from Auburn, Massachusetts in the U.S., writes short stories, novellas, novels, magazine articles, and poetry about bad-ass faeries, carnivorous horses, social justice witches, Tarot cards, vengeful spirits—and mundane stuff like food, hay-eating horses, social justice debates, Goth bands, writer advice, and alcoholic spirits.

She spends rare moments of mystical ‘free time’ with a very patient Husband-of-Awesome, a calico horse, a giant Bunny-of-Doom, and a bratty tabby cat. Join her adventures at www.anovelfriend.com
