Over the years Edie has worked all over the UK, as well as in several other countries and has met a lot of interesting people - several of whom have supplied ideas for some of the characters in her books! She has now settled back in central England with her partner and children, where she is pursuing her writing.

Edie writes gritty gangland and urban fiction and her series so far include her latest - the Scarred series, the Allegiance series, the Retribution series, Hunted series and Downfall series.

When she isn’t writing, Edie enjoys reading and is a self-confessed book hoarder. She also enjoys crochet and music as well as loving anything quirky or unusual.

A psychologist would have a field day looking at the selection of different types of books on my many bookshelves.
I read based on what mood I'm in - but if I had to pick my favourites genres they would be gritty drama, combined with some steamy dark romance - the sort with added psychological twists (I'm not into the sweet romance stories) - and crime fiction. Put these genres all together and that is the sort of books I love.

I find that once I have stepped away for a while - sometimes it's half an hour - other times it's two days - then I get that "light bulb" moment!(less)
