Essie Fox
My latest novel is called Dangerous, and it will be published by Orenda Books in April 2025. It's a slight change from my normal style of novels in that it's a historical crime mystery - but still very gothic. It's the story of Lord Byron in Venice, when a novel called The Vampyre is fraudulently published under his name, and he is then suspected of murder when several women of his acquaintance are found dead with wounds to their throats.

My heartfelt thanks to every reader of my work: you have given it your time, your attention, and whether or not you liked it or felt repaid, you engaged - even for a little while if DNF. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your positive feedback, or your heartfelt reasons for your aversion. Writers are fortunate in that we can calibrate all that against our growing awareness of what we want to do.
As authors, we put ourselves out there and as readers we do that too, hoping to find that communion with other minds, maybe even souls, through stories. None of us would be here on Goodreads if we didn’t believe that there was something truly important in the quest for making and reading, truly good books.

Her early ‘adventure’ stories involved surprisingly little action and her first novel (3 pages long) was politely declined by publishers at age 11.
After earning a BSc in Biology and working as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for her debut novel, Fireborn, came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US.
Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing, Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters). Fireborn will be published by HarperCollins in 2021. -
