Margaret Teeling-Uitvlugt is a Southern Gothic fantasy author, educator, musician, and storyteller whose work blends folklore, mystery, history, and emotionally immersive worldbuilding. Deeply inspired by New Orleans, music, mythology, and the beauty found within memory and human connection, her stories often explore family, legacy, love, loss, and the magic hidden beneath everyday life.
A lifelong lover of literature, history, and the arts, Margaret has spent over two decades as an educator and professional musician. She began writing fiction following a life-changing medical experience that inspired her to finally bring the worlds and characters she had carried within her imagination to life.
She is currently working on multiple projects, including the Willow Chronicles, Evangeline, and The Real Santa Claus.
In the city of Videlou, ancient pack loyalties, buried secrets, and dangerous magic intertwine beneath the willow trees. As love, power, and destiny collide, the line between family and fate begins to unravel.
Set within the fading grandeur of a Southern Gothic estate, Evangeline is a haunting story of memory, legacy, mystery, and the ghosts—both literal and emotional—that linger within old walls.
When wonder begins to fade, one extraordinary journey reminds a fractured family that magic, hope, and kindness still exist in the world—even in its darkest moments.
