He had felt overwhelmed, a child among young adults, and he succumbed to the hostile environment. But his creativity and vivid imagination were destined to emerge. Fast-forward to 1993, when Ed, now a Vietnam-era veteran and certified hypnotherapist, invented and crafted the LSX, which holds the Guinness world’s record for the longest spinning top. Fast-forward again to 2002/2003, when Ed, burned twice by bankruptcies in the toy industry, began writing a story that had been brewing in his mind for many years. The result is THE ZEDLAND CHRONICLES, subtitled, ORPHAN RUNNING.
Ed has two grown children who are no longer living at home, an 1813 farmhouse in upstate New York that he shares with his wife, Eileen, three cats, whose names are too embarrassing to disclose, and two huskies, Onemutch and Toomutch, whose names accurately depict their demeanor. He is currently working on the sequel to ORPHAN RUNNING, tentatively titled, ONE, TWO, TREE.view less
