On my way to Brighton #worldfantasy2025 hoorah! Not a guest on any panels, just looking forward to connecting with the community, seeing old friends, meeting new. If you happen to see me around, do say hello. Likewise if you liked my books and want anything signed. See you soon!

You have two envelopes. Each contains a letter written to you. One letter will tell you what you want to hear. The other will tell you what you need to know. You can only read one letter.

Which do you choose?

Woke up this morning to discover that I’d somehow turned 54. So rude. Anyway, you all know the drill: form an orderly queue while I prepare to receive your gifts and cake. Thank you xx

Trying to decide what my resting mood face is nowadays given the way the world is going, and this is it exactly!

Don’t know what kind of fish this is, so let’s say it’s called a Biggish One…

What animal would I like to be? I always thought sloth was the answer, but turns out it’s starfish. I could totally do this all day long…

The Mini-Ed, 16 today and ready for her trip to Alton Towers. Me, not so much, though I hear the Gangsta Granny ride is pretty safe…

Exam results day, always a nervous time. Mini-Ed got her passes for college, and we’re a very proud mummy and daddy ❤️

Good luck to everyone getting their results today.

Just realised that my second novel THE CATHEDRAL OF KNOWN THINGS is over 10 years old now. It’s part of THE RELIC GUILD TRILOGY and is well worth visiting if you haven’t already. Check it!

Just been to see the new Derren Brown show and was absolutely blown away. If you get the chance to see it, SEE IT! Magical stuff 🤯

A departure from clay models, here’s an embroidered mat that I made, again around the age of 8, alongside my fifth novel…

Day 4 of my creative journey 😬

Clay meteors that I made aged 8, complete with a professional glaze and…a story behind them. A lie I told the entire school. It’s on my website somewhere, if you’re interested: www.edwardcox.net/gallery

Anyway, the meteors with my 4th novel!

This little shithead just stole and ate the sandwich that I made for work, which also included the last of the cheese in the fridge. He’s very pleased with his efforts. Me, not so much 🧐

Here’s a handy clay milk jug complete with highly professional glaze that I made aged 8 alongside my third novel…

Just moved house and found a box of stuff I made as a kid. Happy to say I’ve improved since those days, so…

All this week I’ll be comparing the beginning of my creative journey with my modern day artistry. Here’s a clay boot I made when I was eight alongside my first novel…1/5

If you happened to visit the awesome library at Mersea Island near Colchester you’ll see that awesome librarian Sam Negus has used my books for the Author of the Month spot. This is a happy thing 😊

The intrigue, character, humour, plot, world building, and sheer breadth of imagination makes The Immeasurable Heaven by Casper Geon a truly exceptional piece of Sci-Fi. The best and most original book I’ve read in years.

If you read one sci-fi this year, make it this one. ABSOLUTELY CHECK IT!

I read Swanfolk by Kristín Ómarsdóttir. Strange and beautiful, I’m gonna be thinking about this one for a long time. Brilliant stuff. Check it!
