About

Edward Wiggins is a first-time novelist who didn’t set out to write a book — he set out to unravel a question: What happens when identity fractures under pressure? That question became the seed of his debut work and the foundation for the dark, emotionally charged stories he now tells.

With no formal background in writing, Edward stepped into the world of fiction with nothing but a fascination for psychology, memory, and human resilience. His work blends grounded psychological realism with slow-burn tension, drawing readers into characters who are as flawed and haunted as they are believable. His debut novel, Shards, was born after surviving the darkest chapter of his life — in the aftermath of personal and professional collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Writing became his path forward. Now, Edward channels his experience into layered characters and slow-burning suspense that respects psychological realism.

Shards, marks the beginning of a larger thematic exploration — one that continues through his ambitious Infinite Mirror series. Whether working on a self-contained thriller or a layered, long-form narrative, Edward writes with one goal in mind: to make you question what’s real, and who we are when the mirror cracks.
He lives in South Africa and spends his days somewhere between overthinking and outlining — usually with far too much coffee and not nearly enough sleep.
