Out now, The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder - a spooky sapphic tender funny murder mystery.

I also wrote two cracking warm, heartfelt, smart SF novels that non SF readers also liked. Our Child of the Stars and Our Child of Two Worlds, about 60s US and a childless couple adopt a star child...

My website has buying links, services I offer writers. and other interesting shizzle.

Text:
"A devilish dance through Victorian fakery -  a story that's mysterious, driven, and above all, great fun to read."

The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder by Stephen Cox
A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating.
A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just  visible.
There are pink highlights on some of the letters.
Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.
