Joss Stirling is a writer of adult and YA books, an author of a new crime series, THE JESS BRIDGES MYSTERIES, set in the Thames Valley. Her debut adult work, DON"T TRUST ME, was a best-selling psychological thriller. Next came THE SILENCE, a chilling story that involves a creepy house and the two lost young people who live there.
She is also the author of the internationally best-selling YA series, FINDING SKY, STEALING PHOENIX and SEEKING CRYSTAL, the first three books about the Benedict brothers, a family with extraordinary gifts. The stories combine her love for romance, mystery and travel - oh, yes and some seriously attractive heroes.
Readers demanded to know what happens to the remaining brothers so the next in the savant series, MISTY FALLS. Find out which Benedict brother meets his match. The story continues in ANGEL DARES - meet Joss' most outrageous heroine yet. The series concludes with SUMMER SHADOWS where all the Benedicts reunite for a final challenge.
Joss is the winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year Award 2015 for STRUCK - the first time the award has been given to a YA book. The sequels are called STUNG, SHAKEN and SCORCHED.
You can also read the YA series which begins with PERIL, the first in a trilogy set in the near climate-changed future about Meri, a girl who can see a colour beyond normal human vision, and Kel, the boy who discovers her gift and knows what it means for his people. The story continues in GLOW and FLARE.
If you like your stories with a touch of fairy tale, then try DEADLY NIGHTSHADE and STINGING NETTLE the first two books in a trilogy about three cursed sisters. Enjoy a YA modern fairy tale with good guys who might be bad, and bad ones who maybe have a silver lining to them.
For younger YA readers, try A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND IS HER WOLF, a quirky high school story with a difference (and a wolf).
Joss lives in Oxford, UK.
