About the Author: Edward Falkner
Edward Falkner grew up in a quiet coastal village, where stories traveled faster than tides and family secrets lingered longer than sea mist. Before turning to fiction, Falkner spent two decades as a conflict journalist, covering war zones across five continents. His experience chronicling power struggles and hidden histories gave him a rare lens on human ambition—and the fault lines beneath it.
Now writing from a crumbling estate in the French countryside, Falkner draws on his global travels and ancestral archives to explore characters torn between legacy and reinvention. His fiction blends literary gravitas with the pulse of a thriller, earning comparisons to Robert Harris and Amor Towles. When he’s not writing, he restores antique maps and hunts for forgotten folklore in village taverns.
Parallel Lives is his debut novel—a story whispered across borders, and thunderous in its resonance.
