Ed has lived in every southern state except Mississippi; but he spent the night in jail there once. That was the basis for "Bookman," historical southern fiction.
A former Air Force flight surgeon, Ed writes adventure novels featuring exotic locations, international intrigue and fast paced action featuring Captain Boyd Chailland, an Air Force fighter pilot turned undercover operative. "The Other Pilot," "The Devil on Chardonnay," The Mingrelian," and "The Fourth Domain" have all hit the Amazon best seller lists in political, financial, and travel categories.
Returning to his southern roots, Ed has completed "Sliding Delta," a story about Delta blues music. It was released June 1. He is researching "Secrets of the Sunken Lands," a multi-generational saga about the New Madrid Earthquake and the creation and draining of America's largest swamp at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
Ed lives in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
