Edward Allen Karr is the pen name of Edward Sechkar—easier to pronounce and hopefully, easier to remember too. I was born, raised, and continue to reside in Ohio, USA. After many years of pursuing a variety of careers, ranging from working an automotive assembly line to designing space flight experiments that have been in use on the Space Station, I’ve realized that there is other, more practical work to be done: telling stories.
I’ve just begun the second book in the Risk and the Killers series, which follows from the Thrills N Kills in the Hills series. Book 1, Below the Bay, finds Risk and the twins, Marilyn & Sophia, in a nightmare world below San Francisco Bay. An intriguing character named Widow will be the focus of the second book. How did she become the gorgeous, irresistible mutant monster woman that captivates everyone in Book 1? We’ll soon find out!
My finished works comprise twenty novels spanning five series:
–> A World So Close (7 books) Middle-grade fantasy adventure & coming of age but fun for all ages
–> Fringes of Infinity (6 books) Women’s Fantasy Fiction — Lin Finity and her unstoppable Mayhem!
–> Socrates Lewis Stories (2 books) Religious/Psychological drama
–> Thrills N Kills in the Hills (4 books) Racy, comical horror in Beverly Hills — not for kids!
–> Risk and the Killers (1 book, 2nd begun) Sexy and intense urban fantasy in a hellish world with all kinds of freaks and mutants and monsters — even MORE not for kids!
So, with the fortitude and focus found in a generous mug of coffee, I’ll continue to confine ideas in strings of words, give voice to characters who have been waiting for someone to tell their stories, and always aspire to transport readers to worlds that they might not have noticed without these books.
