Autobiographies

Reality is Best Served with Red WineIn J Edward’s latest book, he promises to drain one bottle of red wine per chapter.
And while deep in his cups, he takes readers on a sometimes funny, sometimes poignant journey. Playful yet serious, humorous yet honest, the bounce between bottles delivers readers on a stroll through everything. It’s a lighthearted memoir blended with sharp philosophy. The result is a unique, revealing look at the modern world.

*
*

Life & Dark Liquor – Having survived the wintry desolation of the Chicago suburbs, J Edward retreats to Atlanta, where the summers are mercilessly hot and every evening invites new adventures.
Alternatively calm and stormy, exuberant and lonely, Life & Dark Liquor digs into the life of an ordinary author living in a strange and unpredictable world. It’s both a memoir and philosophical piece, ranging through topics both small and grandiose.
