It’s been a crazy crazy crazy crazy year. And while I intend to return to this site at some point, I have decided to mothball it for a while. In the meantime, please visit the new official Louise Voss and Mark Edwards site for all the latest news, articles and competitions. See you there!
This week, Louise and I had the exciting and rather surreal experience of being filmed for TV – twice. First of all, Reuters TV, a news agency who provide video clips for numerous TV channels and websites, filmed us for a short piece that should be released very soon. We were shot sitting on a [...]
Louise and I are going to be launching a number of competitions over the next few months, starting with this: Everyone who Tweets this and follows @mredwards will be entered into a prize draw to win a £20 (or $30) Amazon voucher. The competition runs until the HarperCollins version of Catch Your Death is released, [...]
Anyone who has followed my breathless outpourings on this blog or on the various social networks and forums I frequent will know that the last month has been both exciting and surreal. To recap: Catch Your Death was No.1 on Amazon.co.uk for a month; Killing Cupid kept climbing up to No.2, helping us achieve the [...]
To paraphrase Brian Clough: I’m not saying we’re the biggest selling authors in the UK – but we’re in the top 1! At 5.40pm this afternoon, after a few days of nervously checking the Amazon chart lest our bubble burst and we dropped out of the chart as fast as we’d shot up it, Catch [...]
A very quick post to say that today has been insane. In the last 24 hours Catch Your Death has ROCKETED up the chart from about no 120 to its current position at 21. And Killing Cupid is sitting at No. 22. Madness. And I have no idea how many we’ve sold today because Amazon’s [...]
Whoop whoop, as they say these days. Today, after weeks of knocking on the door of the Amazon Top 100, said door finally opened a crack and we barged through. We were 98, then 96, 94, 85, 80 and as I write, with trembling fingers, Killing Cupid currently sits at No.75. I have a strong [...]
Exciting news: Catch Your Death, the second novel by me and Louise Voss, is now available to buy on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Catch Your Death was first written in 2006, after the SARs outbreak but before the huge panic about bird flu. Louise had originally come up with the idea of writing a novel at [...]
This blog won’t be updated for a week because I am going on holiday (vacation if you are in the US). Off to the Algarve for a week with NO internet access, meaning I will have a merciful break from checking my sales. It’s gonna be bliss. When I get back, one of my first [...]
Sometimes, being an indie writer can feel a little like being a famous star. Firstly, you have to act like a shark and keep moving lest you die. Secondly, you get to do interviews, which is something I always fantasised when I was young. A couple of interviews with me and Louise have been published [...]
