By the time Ed was twelve, he had crossed the United States three times. And as a licensed driver at the ripe old age of sixteen, he drove a stick shift Ford across the nation, following his dad, who was pulling a camping trailer behind the family’s station wagon.
An English major at Elon College, Ed earned a master’s degree at Appalachian State University and a doctorate in Educational Leadership at the Sage Colleges' Esteves School of Education. After thirty-five years in higher education and after retiring as Interim President of a public community college, he turned his attention to his first love, writing, while continuing to teach undergraduate and graduate courses on an adjunct basis at a private college in upstate New York.
During the cold months, they “hole up” in their winter quarters in Saratoga Springs, New York. However, during the warm months, Ed and his wife reside in their cabin on Galway Lake, New York. When he’s not writing or engaged in a woodworking project, Ed can be found on the lake or playing with his grandchildren or his four-legged canine companion Sudsy.ver menos
