My new book ‘The Twilight Dragon’ is here!
“A warm-hearted story about a child finding comfort with a dragon made from the soft colours of a twilight sky, The Twilight Dragon is full of wonder, beauty and feeling. It follows a girl coming home from school, overwhelmed by the busyness of her day, who escapes into an extraordinary adventure with her twilight dragon until her dad can finally give her the time and attention she needs. In the end, we discover that the Twilight Dragon is always there, waiting in moments of quiet, even when the child has grown up.
Filled with Ed’s extraordinary handmade illustrations, rich in detail, colour and emotion, the book balances wild adventure and discovery with gentle reflections on friendship, family and the passing of time, creating a story that feels both magical and deeply comforting.
Perfect for bedtime reading, The Twilight Dragon also offers inspiring links to creative writing in schools. “

About Me
I’m an artist, writer, storyteller, and musician from Hastings, a seaside town in the south of England.
Take a look in my bookshop to find out more about my books.
Recent books include We The Wild Ones for older children and adults and Carried Away with the Carnival for younger children.
Music is a huge part of my life and work. I have written songs since childhood. My music is available on all streaming services.
I love connecting with people during my visits to schools, libraries and fests, which mix music, poetry, and stories with inspiring creative activities. I recently studied storytelling intensively at Emerson College and have a big repertoire of both traditional and self-written stories that I love to share at my visits.
“what a tremendous session… I’d highly recommend Ed to libraries and schools for performances and workshops” Pie Corbett, ( after attending one of my events).
My career began with illustration and it is still at the heart of my work. I illustrate all my own books and love to illustrate for authors such as Brian Moses, James Carter and Roger Stevens.
I studied printmaking at college and make handmade prints with traditional techniques such as lino printing and woodcutting. Please visit my print shop to have a look at my prints. Lots of the designs are available as Greetings Cards too.
I really hope you find my work interesting. Please contact me if you’d like to know more.
