Welcome
Welcome to my website. I’m Stephen Cox, author of the acclaimed Our Child of the Stars and Our Child of Two Worlds.
NEW BOOK THE CROOKED MEDIUM’s GUIDE TO MURDER ! This spooky sapphic Victorian mystery launched worldwide 1st September. #9 in LGBT Crime on Kindle.
Advanced buzz is already great – read some early praise.
‘… a devilish dance through Victorian fakery… a story that’s mysterious, driven and, above all, great fun to read.’
Note: lots of sites carry information about the book – because it’s in all the databases – but they don’t sell it.
I am running a massive CLEARANCE SALE for my first two books! CLICK HERE 40% off both hardbacks. (Also available elsewhere as eBook and audio)
And about me….
“Cox’s writing style is warm, lyrical and not afraid to explore humanity’s many complex and opposing points of view. This is the kind of book that makes you think about what being human is and could be.” (Run along the shelves blog)
I’m interested in strong, believable characters and their relationships. I like writing to have hope and humour, and to recognise the dark and unfair side of life. Usually, my work has some speculative or fantastical elements although not all my reading does. Do check out my free fiction.
I’m grateful for the help and support given by more experienced writers and publishing people. I try to give back in various ways – this website and newsletter are part of that. I tend to be more ‘approaches to explore’ than ‘one true way’.
I live with my partner in London looking at a garden which is half wild, and half wanting to be.
Our Child of the Stars
In this bewitching debut, Molly and Gene Myers’ marriage is on the brink of collapse. Then a child arrives, with a remarkable appearance. Will he bring them together, or tear their whole world apart?
Our Child of Two Worlds
Cory is the child of two worlds: when his birth-people come, they will break his mother’s heart… but they may also be this world’s only salvation.
