Libby Ashworth

Libby Ashworth writes sagas set in Lancashire, England where she was born and brought up. Libby still lives in Lancashire and is passionate about its history. She can trace her direct ancestors back to the village of Whalley in the Middle Ages. Many of her ancestors worked in the cotton industry - first as home-based spinners and hand loom weavers, and later in the mills of Blackburn. It is their lives Libby has drawn on to tell her stories. Libby also writes under the name Elizabeth Ashworth.
