From BBC Comedy to Ancient Myth: Myron Edwards and the Story Behind Mistress of the Rock
What happens when ancient mythology collides with modern trauma? Author and former BBC writer Myron Edwards joins The CJ Moneyway Show to explore the creative journey behind Mistress of the Rock, a mythic novel inspired by Cyprus and the legendary Aphrodite’s Rock. From writing comedy associated with The Two Ronnies to advertising, international travel, and eventually fiction, Myron’s career demonstrates how a lifetime of experiences can become raw material for storytelling. CJ and Myron explore creativity, mythology, place, war trauma, obsession, redemption, and the evolution of a writer who continued finding new ways to tell stories.
What Happens When a Place Refuses to Leave Your Imagination?
Sometimes a story begins with an idea.
Sometimes it begins with a character.
And sometimes it begins with a place.
For author Myron Edwards, a journey to Aphrodite’s Rock on the island of Cyprus became the creative spark behind Mistress of the Rock—a mythological novel bringing ancient legend into a modern story involving love, war, trauma, obsession, possession, and redemption.
On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Myron to explore not simply the book, but the creative life that eventually produced it.
Myron’s journey has moved through television comedy, advertising, international travel, media, and publishing. His earlier writing includes work connected with the legendary BBC comedy program The Two Ronnies. Over time, his storytelling evolved from the economy and wit of comedy and advertising into longer, emotionally layered fiction.
And then Cyprus gave him another story to tell.

THE BIGGER MONEYWAY LESSON
A creative life rarely moves in a perfectly straight line.
The work you did ten years ago may prepare you for something you have not imagined yet.
The place you visit today may become tomorrow’s story.
The experiences that appear disconnected can eventually reveal themselves as pieces of the same journey.
That is one of the deeper principles behind this conversation:
Nothing meaningful has to be wasted when you learn how to turn experience into purpose.
Brick by Brick.
