He was just four years old when he penned his first book and has always loved books. It was for this reason that he decided to study English as an undergraduate, worked as a teacher of English after graduating, and then went on to work in publishing. His debut was a supernatural conspiracy thriller and it gave him the confidence that he could make a living as a novelist. Subsequent works such as Twelve Minutes to Midnight and Army of the Dead did well enough that they won prizes and became commercial successes. However, Christopher Edge came into his own in 2016 when he published The Many Worlds of Albie Bright. It was this novel that propelled him into the limelight and made him one of the new names to watch in children’s and young adult fiction. His children’s fiction novels usually deal with topics such as grief and identity as he feels it is an honor to help young people cope with what the world throws at them and look at the world from a different lens.
