Edward Kelsey Moore began his professional life as a classical musician. After many years of teaching and performing music 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 Supremes at Earl's was adapted for film by Searchlight Pictures and Temple Hill Entertainment. The movie received its World  Premiere during Summer 2024 and is currently streaming on the Hulu platform in the U.S., and on Disney+ in other countries around the world.

Edward's second novel, The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, is a marvelous sequel to the first book. Currently he's finishing up a fresh, new novel with completely new characters. 

He also continues to perform classical music with several orchestras in the Chicago area.

A few years back Edward began co-hosting 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.

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