Selden Edwards is an author best known for his debut novel, "The Little Book," a time-travel story centered on a rock star transported to 1897 Vienna. After beginning the manuscript in 1974 as a young English teacher, he meticulously revised it over three decades before its publication in 2008. The novel became a bestseller, followed by its companion, "The Lost Prince," a prequel-sequel exploring the Burden family saga during World War I, released in 2012. Edwards is currently working on a third installment set during World War II.
Before dedicating himself fully to writing, Edwards enjoyed a long career as an educator, serving as headmaster at several independent schools. His disciplined approach to writing - often sacrificing vacations to refine his manuscript - reflects his commitment to craft. Drawing from his academic background, his works blend historical depth with imaginative storytelling, often weaving intricate narratives across different time periods.
A Princeton alumnus, Edwards played basketball during his college years and has served as class secretary for over four decades. Residing in Santa Barbara, California, he continues to expand his literary universe while maintaining ties to his academic roots. His perseverance in revising "The Little Book" over decades stands as a testament to his dedication to the written word.
