Maggie Furey

Maggie Furey is a British novelist from Northumberland best known for the Artefacts of Power and the Creatures of Darkness series of Paranormal Fantasy Thrillers. Even as she was born and bred in Northumberland, England’s riches legend and lore filled county and a perfect setting for fantasy, she was never an active child. She was born with a rare heart condition that made it impossible for her to be physically active during her childhood. Given her condition she spent much of her time finding entertainment and adventure in all manners of books in which she could disappear in fantastical other worldly universes. As such, when other children were out climbing trees and riding bikes, she found solace by sailing with the Amazons and Swallows and winning races with Jill and her horses. She has always had a vivid imagination right from childhood and walking to school, she would imagine herself sailing her boat or riding her pony, much to the consternation of her mother. Her first encounter with Fantasy was when she read “The Silver Chair” in the second grade. She was so blown away by the idea that one could create an entire new world or universe with unique characters, and plotlines, which was so different from the real world. By the end of the week, she had read the entire Narnia Chronicles and The Hobbit by the end of the month. The limitless scope of the genre convinced combined with her vivid imagination convinced her that she was meant to be a writer of fantasy novels – she has never looked back since.
