| A Writer's Life |
|
PS publishing have just brought out my novella A Writer's
Life.
Mid-list writer Daniel Ellis becomes obsessed with the life
and work of novelist Vaughan Edwards, who disappeared in mysterious
circumstances in 1996. Edwards' novels, freighted with foreboding
tragedy and a lyrical sense of loss, echo something in Ellis's
own life. His investigations lead Ellis ever deeper into the
enigma that lies at the heart of Vaughan Edwards' country
house, Edgecoombe Hall, and the horror that dwells there.
In a departure from his science fiction roots, Eric Brown
has written a haunting novella that explores the essence of
creativity, the secret of love, and the tragedy that lies
at the heart of human existence.

strength and the clarity of vision to see beyond our current
horizon. These are mature stories, tales of love and loss,
