Her father thought she was talented, and submitted them to childhood magazines. They never heard from them and to add to disappointment Edna heard her mother tell her father ‘Don’t encourage her, you are teaching her to lie.’
Many years later, Edna’s husband in the Marines, her children in school, Edna had time on her hands. She joined a writing group, she wanted to try again.
Edna wrote a murder mystery under an assumed name, ‘Kathryn Butting Cox’, published by Phoenix Books, New York. The book sold and she felt she was on her way. Her husband returned home from the Marines, his remark was, “I’ll be the bread winner here, I’ll never be called Mr. Edna.” Those were very different times. Edna put her writing dreams aside.
Edna became a widow and her children grown, she began to write again at age ninety, and this is her final book at age 99.
Her books to date are:
“Murder in the Garden”
“The Scent of a Stranger”
“Who killed Who- The Little Dog Knew”
“The Woman was a Devil”
“Peter Lauch - 1735-1839“view less
