Edward Kleinschmidt:  Author Biography 

          Edward J. Kleinschmidt is a freelance writer and poet.  He was born in Farmington, Minnesota in 1946 and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona a year later.  He was the youngest of eight children including six sisters and one brother. 

          While attending college in the late sixties he was encouraged to pursue a career in writing by his English professor.   Writing didn’t take top priority, however, with family responsibilities calling.   Ed’s writing took a backseat for many years, but was never far from his heart. 

          He began by writing stories for his children and in time graduated to adult fiction.   Edward has always had a love of nature and wildlife, so it only makes sense that he would settle in the mountains of Arizona.  You will find nature woven into his books, for the mountains are his second love.  His first love has always been his sweetheart and wife of 34 years.  Edward and Barbara share their home with Angel their little dog and numerous wild critters that come calling.
