J. D. Edwards

J. D. Edwards is an award-winning American author whose work explores the sacred, the haunted, and the heroic—spanning Epic Fantasy, Horror, Historical Fiction, Theology, and Poetry. With a storyteller’s soul and a theologian’s eye, he crafts narratives that are richly researched, emotionally resonant, and quietly transformative.

His work has earned recognition from Reader's House Magazine, the Charl Ormond Williams Fund, Carolina Bards, Lulu’s Share Your Scare Writing Contest, Notebook Publishing, and the Ohio Genealogical Society, where he serves as a writing judge. Since 2012, Edwards has published more than 70 genealogical articles internationally and claimed over a dozen historical writing prizes.

In January 2022, his historical novel Indomitable: The Story of Eliza Harris became an Amazon Top 10 Bestseller in Black & African-American Historical Fiction. His latest release, The Scions of Faerie: The Faerie Chronicles – Book 1, launched in December 2024 as the opening volume of a four-book epic.

In July 2025, The Scions of Faerie was honored with the Editor’s Choice Award by Reader’s House Magazine, recognizing its literary excellence and imaginative depth.

Rooted in Celtic myth, biblical prophecy, and real-world geography—including the ancient town of Amesbury—Edwards’ fantasy work bridges fiction and reality with quiet mastery. Readers can follow characters across England via Google Earth, while the lands of Faerie reveal themselves through unlabeled maps: cryptic, beautiful, and designed to reward the observant and the bold. Every name holds meaning. Every location, a hidden truth. All magic comes at a cost—but what if the price is your very soul?

Future works will journey deeper into the realms of Faerie and the echoes of history—tales of redemption, identity, and the legacies we dare to leave behind.
