I’m a small monster who lives in the dark with ink-stained hands. Known to readers as LC Winter, and to my friends and everyone else (except that terrifying professor at university) as Libby. I’m a writer of historical gothic scribbling at the midnight crossroads between history, folklore and crime.
My debut novel Spider, Spider will be released in March 2026 and you can read about it here.
When I’m not writing dark and twisty tales I work as a professional gardener. Working in the soil of historic buildings forms a significant part of the compost from which my writing grows, as does a childhood with my head buried in a Sherlock Holmes and surrounded by antiques in various states of repair. From poisonous plants to secret compartments, from witch balls to guttering candles in the dark, it all shows up in my work.
I’m lucky enough to be represented by the lovely Emily Glenister at the DHH Literary Agency. You can pre-order my book or find me on social media from the link tree here.
