About Edward

As Featured on INSIDER and ABC... Newly published author of Cancer, Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses available at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, AppleBooks, and anywhere you buy books. In this fantasy, non-fiction, funny-as-cancer-can-be musical theatre fever dream fueled by chemo, alcohol, sex, & heartbreak you will experience the honest, raw & oftentimes hilarious view of Edward, as he navigates his way through the painful realities of being a full-time cancer patient - indecencies, heartbreaks, wins, shenanigans & more. With no choice but to watch as his relationships, career & life disintegrate before his eyes on the wings of a themed musical montage, Edward faces hard truths, dehumanizing situations, & death, all while scores of nurses & doctors carelessly belt & fan-kick in his face. From diagnosis to cancer free status, the things that go down in your life, the things that shift and change and redirect is insurmountable. I was broken up with, had one of my best friends stop talking to me, missed out on huge career opportunities, all while losing my hair, my body, my sense of identity, and having to plan a funeral - mine. Once I was given the 'get out of cancer free' card, everyday things were a total dirge. I couldn't comprehend why, after having been given this new chance, this new lease on life I was having a hard time doing the daily basics. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a newly dubbed cancer free human that the conversation of 'what is happening to me' cracked wide open. There is no going back; only forward.
