Author of Project Eden & Vestige of the Crown
Australian indie author, mum of four girls, and certified chaos goblin.
E. C. Cardey has two books out in the world. Project Eden, a slow burn, dystopian adventure, set in the beautiful coastal Australian bush, and Vestige of the Crown, an epic fantasy adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to end. Did I mention she's also bouncing between six WIPs at the moment?
About the Author
One thing I strongly admire is her love of sharing her writing journey, and the wins and the struggles of her self publishing adventure.
“Words will never do justice to what a spectacular journey this book took me on.” - Goodreads review - Vestige of the Crown
About Vestige of the Crown
The king is dead.
Assassins strike in the dead of night, decimating the royal family.
Prince Cadeyrn survives with the help of his knight companions, but is too late to save his kin. In the carnage that remains he finds his brother’s pregnant widow. However, surviving is not enough to keep them safe. Prince Cadeyrn is blamed for the massacre of his family and–determined to save his sister and her unborn child from their enemy–is forced to flee from the scheming Duke Fiacra.
In the midst of their escape, the desperate fugitives encounter Éabha, a noble lady who values her freedom more than her title. But the princess and child’s survival must remain hidden at all costs.
Éabha is given a choice; join them in exile or die.
Branded traitors, and hunted across the kingdom, allies are in short supply. Together, the six companions begin their quest to prove their innocence and reclaim the throne.
But Duke Fiacra seeks far more than just the crown. He has released a power long held dormant within the land.A power that will make him unstoppable.

Fast Facts about E. C. Cardey
Your go-to writing fuel (snack/drink)? "Iced coffee, and chocolate"
Plotter, pantser, or chaotic gremlin: "Panster, with a sprinkling of plot. Does that make me a gremlin?"
A book you wish you’d written: "I wish I could claim the incredible world of Tamora Pierce's books, all of them. "
If your WIP had a theme song, what would it be? "Maybe "Waves" by Imagine Dragons. Or at least for one of the characters. "
Best Advice for Writers: "Just start writing. Let the story come out the way it needs to, and worry about all the rest later. Oh, and never publish through a vanity press."
First to Hear the News: "Dani and Bec, I can't separate them because Vestige first existed in a chaotic group email with those two incredible ladies, back when we were all vet nurses together. "
Weirdest place you’ve ever gotten an idea: I honestly don't know. Dreams are an obvious place, same with the shower, or the car, but sometimes I'll just be doing nothing, and my mind wanders and suddenly there's a new character I've never met chatting in my brain.
