About the author

Eve Lestrange lives in a quiet New Jersey suburb where haunting visions and dreams visit often. After a determined yet frustrating career as a musician with The Empire Hideous, she turned to writing as a more desirable creative outlet. Eve loves the creative control that writing gives her but it is a deep and passionate love for music that ignites her imagination and plants the visions that ripen into imaginative tales. Whether poetry, short story or novel there's always something inspiring in the CD player when she is writing. Eve has always been drawn to writing - first to poetry, then to short stories and finally to novels. Writing gives her the creative freedom to explore whatever macabre phantoms descend upon her imagination. Eve mostly enjoys writing horror stories that take place in a historical setting, as she has a deep interest in history and archaeology.

[Book Review Diva · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are a huge fan of witchcraft and black magic like myself, than I know you will love this book. “Widdershins” brings you deep into the world of magic, witchcraft, and potions. This book actually made me want to dig out my herbs and potions. I loved everything about this book, this book did not lack in excitement. I was drawn into the world of Christine Lafage, and her journey towards the left handed path and how she learns to control her powers all the while bonding deeper with her mother. This book is a must read and I hope Eve Lestrange decides to write a sequel to this book. Amazing job Eve, I LOVED this book!
