Edward Kelsey Moore began his professional life as a classical musician and educator. After reaching his forties, 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 recently been adapted by Searchlight Pictures, where the movie version is now in development.
Edward's latest novel, The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, is a sequel to the first book.  He is currently working on a new novel.
A few years ago 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.
