Hi, I’m Ed — an author and ghostwriter passionate about storytelling that stands the test of time.
I published my first novel, Between Two Slopes, when I was 22 years old, shortly after graduating from the University of Michigan. During my time there, I studied under brilliant literary minds — including author Peter Ho Davies and writer Jeremiah Chamberlin — and had the opportunity to meet eventual two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Colson Whitehead. These experiences helped shape my voice as a writer. I also spent time in sports media, managing communications for Michigan’s football and basketball programs.
Since then, I have published a pair of novellas in Somewhere More Than Free (2015) and the short story collection In a Northern Town (2017). My most recent novel, Autumn in Wolf Valley, was published in 2025. Inspired by classic literary giants like Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck, as well as contemporary icons like Philipp Meyer and Mitch Albom, I strive to write books that are authentic and timeless.
While my primary focus is my own writing, I have also built a wealth of experience as a freelance writer and ghostwriter, crafting everything from blog posts to memoirs for hundreds of clients across a variety of industries and genres. These experiences have helped me gain valuable, diverse perspectives.
I live in Southeast Michigan with my wife, two daughters and our mini Australian shepherd.
Thank you for exploring my work. I’m honored to share these stories with you.
