Since she was a child, Leigh Ann Edwards has always had a vivid imagination and lots of stories to tell. An enthusiastic traveler and author for over twenty years, her adventures in Massachusetts, Ireland, and the UK were the inspiration for the book entitled 'The Farrier’s Daughter' as well as its sequel novels in the Irish Witch series.

Edwards adores animals, history, genealogy, and magical places—and Ireland is filled with many magical places. She lives with her husband and three cats in the lovely small town of Smoky Lake, about 1.5 hours east of Edmonton.
