Our chat guest Wednesday night is E. D. Easley, known as “easleyed” in the chatroom.

E.D. Easley has always been a writer. He started by publishing poetry in little magazines in the Seventies. The military draft was still on when he was a kid, and the Army got him at the end of Vietnam. They made him a photojournalist. Ed traveled all over America plying his new trade, and soon won a lot of awards. The military finally sent him to the European Edition of The Stars and Stripes, where he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

All told, Ed spent two decades working his way up from beat reporter to publisher at newspapers and trade magazines from Astoria, Ore., to Connecticut. He won a bunch of awards, and lived through a couple of really bad marriages. They're listed in other places.

He's been to exotic places like Germany, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Indiana, and Astoria, OR. None of the folks in those places asked him to come back. The residents of at least one place invited him to go far away. They did so in writing.

About a decade ago the doctors gave him six months to live. Really. They were wrong. He went through four clinical deaths, but was too stubborn stay dead. So far, he hasn’t been rendered permanently dead.

In the end, he dropped out to write and edit book-length fiction. Today he lives in Spokane, Wash., where he and his fiancé, Patricia Stively, own Creative Editing Solutions. They have edited hundreds of novels, and are listed with Preditors and Editors http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors

Ed published one novel, "A Matter of Tastes", which he wrote in the Eighties, but took until 2003 to see print. He just signed a two-book deal with Cloonfad Press http://www.cloonfadpress.com . "Crimes Against Commerce" appears in October, and "The Lost Generation" is scheduled for 2006.

You can send your complaints to Ed, but he's an old newspaper editor and is used to being insulted. His publisher's web page is at http://www.cloonfadpress.com/Easley.html

Please come out for an informative and entertaining evening and chat with writer and editor E. D. Easley.
