The World of Candice Fox
Get to know the ever-rising star of Australian crime writing.
Eavesdropping played an important part in Candice Fox’s development as a storyteller. The daughter of an enthusiastic foster-carer, she spent her childhood listening around corners to tales of violence, madness and evil from the cops and childcare authorities who frequented her Bankstown, Western Sydney home.
After a brief stint in the Australian Navy, Fox went on to teach high school before she found success with her debut novel, Hades, which won the Ned Kelly Award for best debut crime novel 2014. The sequel, Eden, won the Ned Kelly Award for best crime novel in 2015, making her only the second author to win these accolades back to back.
That same year, Fox joined forces with crime-writing powerhouse James Patterson, and their first novel together, Never Never, went straight to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list in the US.
