Ed is an ordained minister, folklorist and writer. He is also
the chief cook and bottle-washer of the Christian E-zine, "The Loving
Heart". He has 16 published books and over a thousand articles to his
credit. The joy of his life right now is his little granddaughter who, he
says, he often makes a fool of himself over! Ed lives with his
long-suffering wife on a farm in the shadow of Clinch Mountain, near Gate
City, Virginia, a spot that swarms with deer, possums, raccoons, rabbits,
chipmunks, vipers, and four very strenuous cats.
