Some rather nice reviews ...


"Tense and gripping, The House On The Edge by Alex Cotter is a fabulous read full of twists and turns." Charlotte Heathcote, Daily Express & Mirror
“Why has Faith’s dad gone, leaving his family living in an old house perched atop a crumbling cliff? A crack in the cliff gets bigger every day… A spine-tingling spooky thriller.” -Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
"This incredible story will have you gripped all the way." - Moonlane Books Ramsgate
"The House on the Edge takes cliff-hangers to a whole new level! There are so many twists and turns and suspense, mystery and spookiness delivered in spades." - Emma Kuyateh, Primary Teacher Bookshelf
"Ghosts, grief, mysteries, adventure and smugglers! Faith is an engaging and delightful narrator and I was propelled along by a taut and exciting plot!" - Ian Eagleton, author
"Absolutely wonderful. I adored every sea-soaked page." - Eloise Williams, author
Alongside writing children's books, I also make a living from words in other lovely jobs, from copywriting and editing to working as a Lecturer for Creative Writing.
Raised in many different homes in the North, and a Londoner for two decades, I now live near Bath with my family, one very chatty cat, and possibly also a few friendly ghosts. ​
​Likes: a bear, every bear; history; the sea; trees; old films; and researching the correlation between writing and eating chocolate. And, of course ... books!
