M. A. Hunter

M.A. HUNTER is the pseudonym of prolific author STEPHEN EDGER, an Amazon Kindle UK and USA No 1 bestselling writer of crime and psychological thrillers. His body of work, including The Boat Party, Sleepwalker, The Woman on Platform 8, and The Tenants, has been likened to Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, and T.M. Logan.

In 2024 he was formally diagnosed with both Autism and ADHD, and he believes the wiring of his unique mind is what allows him to write three books per year, despite a full-time job and young family. He is a vocal advocate of neurodivergent acceptance, regularly posting about the challenges of living in a neurotypical world through his social media channels and TikTok.

Away from writing, he is a huge film buff with an encyclopaedic knowledge of actors and directors from the 1980s and 1990s. He enjoys walking his dogs (though not in the rain), cooking, and plotting future projects.

He hails from Darlington, grew up in London, but is now settled in Southampton with his wife and two children and is currently working on his first television screenplay.

M.A. Hunter also writes under the name Stephen Edger.
