Edward Kelsey Moore began his professional life as a classical musician. After many years of teaching and performing Edward began composing short stories and learning the business side of getting his literary works published. A decade later his late-blooming debut novel, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, became an international hit and a New York Times bestseller. The book has been adapted by Temple Hill Entertainment and  Searchlight Pictures, where the movie version is now in post-production.
Edward's most recent novel, The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, is a sequel to the first book. He is currently finishing up a new novel.
A few years back Edward began co-hosting a lively podcast series about movies and books called Who The Hell Are We?, which you can hear (free!) wherever you stream or download your podcasts.
Edward Kelsey Moore was born in the U.S. Midwest. He enjoys living there and writing about it.

Who The Hell Are We?
New York Times bestselling authors Edward Kelsey Moore and Melanie Benjamin are hosting a podcast series called, "Who The Hell Are We?".  Launched in 2019, the podcast is about great movies, great books, and great conversation.  In this episode Melanie and Ed discuss the movie: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964).  Written and directed by Jacques Demy, this more-than-a-musical (the entire movie is sung by the actors) contains gorgeous music by Michel Legrand. Starring Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo.
Ed and Melanie make book recommendations with similar themes.

One book we'll recommend  now  is our own Melanie Benjamin's just released: California Golden (Aug 2023), a historical novel that explores women who made waves on the competitive surfing scene during the 1950s and 60s.  Find it at your local bookseller, or shop for it online!

The ongoing Writer’s Guild of America and the Actors’ union strikes are effecting most things in the entertainment industry at this time.
It is unknown (by us) if this has any impact on the progress of the Supremes At Earl’s movie, but we believe it is nearing completion.
Let us hope that a very satisfying solution is reached
