The Author
C.J. Weddell
C.J. Weddell is a British author who writes across two very different worlds — dark psychological thrillers for adults and mystery adventures for young readers. Both are bound together by a fascination with hidden places, forgotten stories, and the pull of unsolved mysteries.
Inspired by folklore, rugged coastlines, and the atmospheric landscapes of the North East of England, C.J.'s thrillers explore the darker edges of human nature — paranoia, survival, and the secrets people bury. The children's mysteries bring that same sense of discovery and intrigue to younger audiences, set against lighthouses, islands, and centuries-old legends.
Beyond the page, C.J. is also the creator of MysteryGameStudio, crafting interactive mystery experiences that blend storytelling with puzzle-solving.
