He and his family currently reside in Macon, Georgia. Ed’s life took a decided turn in 1995 when he bought a home computer and began writing down wild old stories about his upbringing in Juliette.These stories, through an unusual series of events, were published in 1998 in hardback under the title, “Sex, Dead Dogs, and Me: The Juliette Journals.” Ed’s book started out in four bookstores in Macon, Georgia - through word of mouth and the internet eight months later he was being stocked nationally in the Books A Million chain, and other large bookstore chains were also considering stocking him. Ed's second book has recently been released, entitled “Rough As A Cob: More of The Juliette Journals.” It is published by River City Publishing. Recently, Ed has appeared on the Georgia Public Radio program, “Cover to Cover”, he writes a syndicated weekly newspaper column called "Free Wheelin'," and has won two prestigious online reader’s poll awards for his book. He is in demand as a speaker, and is already being compared to some of Georgia’s most noted humorists.
