Annelisa Christensen with green hair in a bun, wearing a red cloak at Hastings Literary Festival, holding up her three published books from the Seventeenth Century Midwives series: The Popish Midwife, The Midnight Midwife and The Ghost Midwife. On the table in front of her are stacks of the same three books.
Cover of the book, The Ghost Midwife, second book in the Seventeenth Century Midwives series by author Annelisa Christensen: The cover shows an original seventeenth century black-and-white print design, with the foreground characters brightly coloured. To the left is an older woman in a long emerald green cape holding up a tallow candle on a stick toward a transparent woman, who is wearing a long scarlet, many-layered cape to signify the ghost of a midwife. Behind the two women can be seen parts of an original broadsheet from the period telling the story of The Ghost Midwife in rhyme. The scene is set in front of the aged-stained yellow background with a print-style black border typical of the series. Above the image of poem and two women is the title The Ghost Midwife in ye-olde-style writing in black. Below the image is the author's name, Annelisa Christensen, in a more modern font.

Hi Blue Sky!
I have it on good authority that this is where 'all the good people' are. Having had a look around, I believe it. So much calmer here. So much less friction.
I am looking forward to getting to know you all, and if you've followed me here from another platform, get to know you anew.
