About Edward

Edward Green writes erotica, fantasy, and science fiction with an understanding of the chaos that life, insecurity, and personal goals impose on characters and the sweetness, humor, and tragedy that can result. He writes due to the accident of having begun and then found it is a part of his identity. His imagination creates characters, and he takes tremendous joy in bringing their stories to life and sharing them. As well as writing, Edward is the designer for the Him and Her Erotic Steel range of adult toys.
