Alys Clare is the pen name of Elizabeth Harris, who has more than 20 published literary works under her name. Ms. Clare grew up in the countryside near where her Hawkenlye works of fiction are set. She attended Tonbridge School and later graduated from Kent University in archaeology studies. She lives in a remote cottage in Brittany, deep in an old countryside where past inhabitants left their mark; on her front doorstep are ancient relics and dolmens of the Neolithic and primeval tracks of legendary warrior priests; the Knights Templar. Alys’s study is next to a vast stretch of land, which includes a gorge with a small spring. The waters of this spring mimic in color and tang to Tunbridge’s famed Chalybeate Spring. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Hawkenlye Mysteries Books series, Alys Clare has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
