Tessa Barrie

Tessa Barrie is the alter ego of the Jersey UK based writer Sally Edmondson

My author tagline is ‘Life and other bittersweet stories.’

Incorporating a subtle sprinkling of humour in my novels is very important to me, however dark a story gets.

To date, I have written two novels. Just Say It, a bittersweet family drama, and The Secret Lives of the Doyenne of Didsbrook, a quirky murder mystery. Novel number three, The Rebuilding of Freya Michaels – which should be finished by the end of April 2026, if not before – is Women’s Fiction, but with a strong emphasis on female friendship and survival.
