Mid-list writer Daniel Ellis becomes obsessed with the life and work of
novelist Vaughan Edwards, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances in1996. 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.

Q: What will e-readers like about your book?

A Writer's Life explores the ideas of immortality, creativity, and love, as well as being a passionate evocation of the English countryside.

Q: Why did you go indie?

When Keith Brooke of infinity plus ebooks suggested he do A Writer's Life, I jumped at the chance; first published by PS Publishing, it was reprinted twice and then fell out of print: this is the perfect opportunity to get it into circulation again.

Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?

Michael Coney, Robert Charles Wilson.
