Lucy Jane Wood ~ Disenchanted ~ Cozy Alchemy Season 3 Ep 3

A dash of mystery, a sparkle of magic, and all things cozy! Elle interviews fellow cozy authors in this bookish podcast from Authors on the Air. Today on the podcast, meet–for the second time!–Lucy Jane Wood! Elle and Lucy talk about fairy tale inspiration, the role of nostalgia in cozy, author bucket lists, and more. Happy listening! Lucy’s Bio: Lucy is the author of Rewitched, Uncharmed, and perhaps some other mysterious, magical projects bubbling away in the background. She’s originally from the Wirral, UK, but these days you’ll find her living in London, giant coffee in hand, probably being headbutted by her cat. Being a bookworm has always been a fundamental part of Lucy’s personality, and she found herself falling into the world of writing almost by accident. After happily stumbling into her first paid writing position for a teen website back in 2013, she’s been lucky enough to write freelance for titles like Marie Claire US, Cosmopolitan UK, MTV and Metro amongst others. Since then, she’s also popped up online to overshare across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, where you can expect to find her chatting about important things like books, writing, and snacks.

She has also published spin-off series including Pomegranate Cafe Romance and Marine Magic, as well as numerous short mysteries in anthologies. When not writing, Elle is an active member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America. As a historian and educator, she believes in the value of stories as a mirror for complicated realities. She currently lives in New Jersey with a grumpy tortoise and a three-legged cat. Find free stories and more at ellehartford.com, and back episodes of Cozy Alchemy at ellehartford.substack.com.
