Steffanie Edward was born in St Lucia but brought up in East London. She now lives between her beloved St Lucia and England. Her writing career started with short stories, five of which have been published. Two of them came runner-up in a Darker Times Fiction flash competition. Her debut novel, ‘This Other Island’, was longlisted for the SI Leeds Literary Prize.
