Lily Bartlett

Lily Bartlett is a storyteller who finds magic in the mundane and beauty in the shadows. Raised among the rolling hills and misty peaks of the American South, she has always believed that the boundary between our world and the next is thinner than we think. With a background in folklore and a deep love for the natural world, Lily weaves tales that focus on healing, connection, and the power of choice. When she isn't drafting her next novel at a local café, you can find her tending to her overgrown herb garden, hunting for vintage books, or hiking the trails that inspired Rowan’s journey. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and a very opinionated ginger cat. The Weaving of Thorns and Light is her debut novel, a love letter to the places we call home.
