David Allen Edmonds
David Allen Edmonds spent most of his working life as a teacher. His mysteries Personal Pronouns and Indirect Objects are set in a suburban Cleveland high school. Now offering Unveiled Love, his second Benton Center Romance, he asks, “What’s more romantic than falling in love and solving today’s problems? Writing for me began as therapy. As a burned-out teacher I re-claimed my sense of purpose in the writing of my Joe Lehrer Mysteries and was able to return to the classroom energized and positive. COVID, or rather the forced necessity of watching Hallmark Movies, taught me the value of a romantic perspective. My Benton Center Romances strive for that Happy Ending feeling while also addressing problems that besiege contemporary American society. My current project is re-visiting and possibly publishing stories I wrote about my early career in education, the Faculty Lounge Stories.”
