CALIFORNIA-BASED NOVELIST JEFF EDWARDS AT CALIFORNIA FINE ARTS FESTIVAL
So, I’m really good friends with an awesome lady in California named Maria Edwards. She is a true “soldier’s angel” and goes to great lengths to support men and women in uniform and overseas – especially those who don’t have strong family support of their own. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s also a dedicated mother, educator, marketing expert, and the President of American Author’s Association.
Maria is also the wife of award-winning novelist Jeff Edwards. Please visit his website (link below) for more about Jeff and his forthcoming second novel, “The Seventh Angel.” His first novel, “Torpedo,” was critically acclaimed and won eight awards, including the AAA’s coveted American Author’s Medal. His new book is sure to be even better.
Jeff has been in the media a lot, and this month is no exception. On Saturday August 30, 2008, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, he’ll be the headlining author at the Fine Arts Festival of Elk Grove, Laguna Town Hall, Elk Grove, CA.

As an aspiring novelist myself, I read “Torpedo” with much interest. I think Jeff is an amazing writer. His fiction could be classified as high-tension Navy thriller, which makes sense since he’s a Naval Warfare Specialist. But at the end of a day, it’s just a really entertaining, brilliantly crafted story that any reader will enjoy.
Here’s what some other people had to say about Torpedo:
“Torpedo kicks ass! Smart and involving, with an action through-line that shoots ahead like its namesake — fast and lethal. I read it in one sitting.”— PAUL L. SANDBERG, Producer of ‘The Bourne Supremacy,’ and ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’
“Torpedo scares the pants off the reader. One scene scarcely ends before the author throws another that is even more riveting at the reader. Even more worrisome is the fact that everything in Jeff Edward’s book can actually happen. The author’s descriptions are vivid and believable, making the book a real page turner.”— Alton Pryor, author of ‘California's Hidden Gold’
“Awash with excitement, Torpedo by Jeff Edwards is the sort of debut novel that holds one attention from first word to last. The characters are rich and complex. The plot is not only full of surprises but also is delivered with an unerring eye for detail. The dialog crackles, and the prose is often lyrical.”— GAYLE LYNDS, Bestselling author of ‘The Last Spymaster’
Put simply, Jeff and his family are REALLY good people. If you’re a fan, and especially if you’ll be in California this month, please show your support and put the Fine Arts Festival of Elk Grove on your calendar!
Thank you for the kind words. It is a pleasure to count you as a dear and
trusted friend. This year's Fine Arts Festival promises to have something
for everyone - all the arts are being represented. We were very honored
that they have asked Jeff to be their Featured Author for this year.
Master spy writer, Gayle Lynds and Court Room Thriller, John Lescroart -
both NYTimes Bestsellers - were their Featured Authors last year. How can
we go wrong following in their footsteps?! How to see some of your
followers out there. If you come, please introduce yourselves!
