Hello! As you might have guessed, my name is Edward Cookley. I’m an author currently working on my first series of mystery books, centered on the investigations of journalist Arlo Booker.

I was raised in Southington, CT, which I think was a pretty great spot. After high school, I moved to Indiana to attend Purdue University, and I graduated in 2010. I met my wife, Sarah, at Purdue, and we moved to Nashville in 2013. We currently live just outside of Nashville with our children and dogs.

As a kid, I was an avid reader. In fact, I distinctly remember my 5th grade teacher telling my parents I was distracted in class, not because of talking or doodling, but because I hid books beneath my desk. As an adult, I naturally still love reading, and I’ll tackle everything from thriller to horror to sci-fi, and especially since I’ve passed 30, non-fiction.

Writing was a hobby of mine as far back as middle school, but it wasn’t until I graduated from college that I thought being an author was possible.

I finished my first novel that no one has ever read in 2014. Since then, I’ve started a few more, abandoned most, finished a couple, and now I’m working on another.

One of these days I’ll start publishing some books. I hope you’ll stick around and join me. I think 2021 will be the year.
