Tina M Edwards has loved reading and words in all forms from an early age, a love encouraged by an inspiring teacher and her late grandfather, who was also a writer/poet. She eventually began writing seriously, many moons after the year of her birth. Her poetry, flash fiction and short stories are now published in the U.K. and America. Her first novel ‘The Secret of Creek Cottage‘, was first published in the summer of 2020 by SilverWood Books (Bristol).
She currently lives in the South West of England and spends as much time as possible by the sea. She is editor at The Beach Hut, an online platform for therapeutic writing which celebrates the benefits of nature and the coast, (currently closed to submissions), and acknowledges their positive effects on health & wellbeing. She has published Poets such as Deborah Harvey, Marc Woodward, Finola Scott & Rachel Matthews, who was winner of the Beach Huts inaugural ‘Coastal Writing for Wellness Competition’ in 2020 with her poem ‘Ghazal: The Sea‘, at a time when we ALL needed an escape from the troubled Pandemic world we lived in.
She LOVES writing ekphrastic poetry and flash fiction which often focuses on bizarre themes of death or hospitals, the topic no doubt influenced from many years working in the NHS.
Her second fictional publication, Artie & Nancy, published by Brookfield Publishing Ltd, is due for release in December 2025.
