Edward D. Webster had an eclectic mixture of careers, ranging from environmental engineering, to teaching Navajo students and helping develop a center for abused children. Likewise, he’s the author of a diverse collection of books. Webster admits to a fascination with unique, quirky and bizarre human behavior. His acclaimed memoir, A Year of Sundays (Taking the Plunge and our Cat to Explore Europe) shares the eccentric tale of his yearlong adventure in Europe with his spirited blind wife and headstrong, deaf sixteen-year-old cat. His historical novel, Soul of Toledo recounts a diabolical moment in history, when madmen took over the City of Toledo and tortured suspected Jews, 30 years before the Spanish Inquisition. In his 2020 novel, Carlos Crosses the Line, Webster expands his scope to immigration issues in the 1960s and the question, What should you believe, if you don't accept your culture's teachings? Now, American Nonsensical (2022) and Russian Nonsensical (2024), featuring AI, conspiracy theories, and political deception, bring Webster's fiction up to date with this crazy-quilt world gone mad. From the happily unusual of A Year of Sundays to the cruelly perverse in Soul of Toledo, Edward D. Webster shines a light on offbeat aspects of human nature.Webster lives in Southern California with his divine wife and two amazing cats.
