Welcome to C.J. Weddell Books
Welcome to the official online home of C.J. Weddell — a place where dark psychological thrillers and children's mystery adventures sit side by side, just as they do in my imagination.
Why This Site Exists
For years, my stories lived in notebooks, scattered documents, and late-night drafts that never quite found their way into the world. This site is the beginning of changing that. It's a space for readers, curious visitors, and anyone drawn to a good mystery.
Two Worlds, One Author
If you've landed here, you might be wondering how one author writes both adult thrillers and children's mysteries. The truth is, they come from the same place — a fascination with secrets, hidden places, and the stories people don't tell out loud.
The thrillers explore the darker edges: paranoia, survival, and the lies we tell to protect ourselves. The children's books take that same love of mystery and discovery and turn it into adventure — lighthouses, hidden maps, and legends waiting to be uncovered.
What's Coming
This blog will be the place where I share:
- Behind-the-scenes looks at how the stories are made
- The real places that inspire fictional worlds
- Writing updates on upcoming books and projects
- Thoughts on storytelling, mystery, and the craft of keeping readers guessing
Whether you're here for the thrillers or the mysteries — or both — you're in the right place.
Stay curious. Stay reading. And keep the light on.
