The Supremes At Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat was Edward’s first book, published in 2013. It became an international hit and a New York Times best-seller. The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, a sequel to the first novel, was published a few years later. Edward is finishing up the creation of a new novel this year - with new characters. Edward Kelsey Moore was born and raised in Indiana and received one of his music degrees from Indiana University.

Edward is looking forward to visiting with you this afternoon! This Zoom event is FREE and open to the public thanks to Hammond Public Library, Indiana Humanities and the Indiana Authors Awards.

A note to parents: there is the occasional cuss-word in some recent podcast episodes. Available now, The Children’s Blizzard, by Melanie Benjamin  From the New York Times bestselling author of The Aviator’s Wife comes a story of courage on the prairie, inspired by the devastating storm that struck the Great Plains in 1888, threatening the lives of hundreds of immigrant homesteaders, especially schoolchildren.
"Benjamin achieves a balance of grand drama and devastatingly intimate moments." —Publishers Weekly  The Who The Hell Are We? podcast welcomes special guest-author Christina Baker Kline to discuss her just-published novel, The Exiles. Ms. Baker Kline is the author of Orphan Train, a New York Times #1 Bestseller. In her new book, readers will be shipped to nineteenth-century Australia along with young Evangeline, who becomes exiled there. Though Australia had been home to Aboriginal people for more than 50,000 years, the British government in the 1840s considered its new colony uninhabited and unsettled, and viewed the natives as an unpleasant nuisance: many of them are forcibly relocated and their land seized by white colonists. Christina Baker Kline brilliantly recreates the beginnings of a new society in a beautiful and challenging land, telling the story of Australia from a fresh perspective, through the experiences of Evangeline and the women of different backgrounds and races who become part of her new world. While life in Australia is punishing and often brutally unfair, it is also, for some, an opportunity… for redemption, for a new way of life, for unimagined freedom.
