JS Edge remains adamant that when she was a kid, she could fly.

Pfft to the nay-sayers.


Born and raised in northeast England, she now lives in the beautiful southwest, sharing her Devonshire home with four spirited children and a menagerie of furry friends. JS Edge is a queer author, writing queer fiction for young adults. A dedicated advocate for representation and understanding within the literary world, her work explores vital themes such as identity, acceptance, and growth. She is a terrible cook but an exceptional dreamer, and the Hometown Misfits series embodies her entire heart and soul.



Elephant Shoe and Staying Grounded are companion novels and they can be read as standalones.

Hi Georgia,

Thank you for your question, and I'm so glad you loved my boys! Tate and Mikey are like my extra children, forever inhabiting a huge chunk of my head and heart. Scenarios of them bickering or being sweet continue to tickle my imagination. Four years on, and they're still solidly besotted (and driving each other mad). I'd love to pick up their story at some future point, but currently, I am very hard at work trying to polish up Staying Grounded. It's so close to completion now, after a hideous year-long bout of writer's block. I can't wait to release Craig and Sebastian into the world very soon. I really hope you will love them too! (less)

Pretty decent writing, but the shallow characters and painfully slow story pace failed to keep me engaged. It took me weeks to read.
