Edward Kelsey Moore began his professional life as a classical musician. During his early years of teaching and performing music, Edward also began composing short stories and learning the business side of getting his literary works published. After a few more years he found his path as a writer and Edward's debut novel, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, became an international hit and a New York Times bestseller.

The Supremes at Earl's was adapted for film by Searchlight Pictures and Temple Hill Entertainment. The movie had its world  premiere in Autumn 2024, and is streaming now on the Hulu platform in the U.S., and on Disney+ in dozens of other countries around the world.

Edward's second book, The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, is a compelling sequel to the first novel. Recently he's finished up a fresh, new manuscript with completely new characters. 

Edward also co-hosts a lively podcast series about movies and books called, Who The Hell Are We?.  There are more than 100 episodes, which you can hear (free!) wherever you stream or download your podcasts.

And he continues to perform classical music now and then, with several professional orchestras in the Chicago area.

Edward Kelsey Moore was born in the Midwest. He enjoys living there and writing about it.
