A D Fox

Making her crime fiction debut in the pandemical pandaemonium of 2021, A.D. FOX is the crime fiction writing alter ego of multi-award-winning author Ali Sparkes.She has always loved writing for younger readers but for many years also harboured the dark secret of really wanting to murder people. The cancellation of many festivals and events in 2020 allowed her the time to finally do it. Happily, only in print. Well, as far as the authorities know...Before becoming an author A.D. worked as a reporter in local newspapers and later as a BBC broadcast journalist and a comedy writer for BBC Radio 4. Prior to all of this she was a singer in bands and a theatrical kid. Her experiences in all these fields have provided a rich background tapestry for the Henry & Sparrow series.She lives in Hampshire, England, with her husband, occasional boomeranging offspring and a highly porous labradoodle who loves too much. She likes to go running. Not quite so often in the woods since writing The Dying Dolls.
