About this author

My career as a writer seemed, oddly, predetermined. I grew up at the feet of my maternal grandfather telling stories of World War II and my paternal grandmother recalling her adventures as travelling the world (often by herself) in the 1950s. When I was old enough to construct words into sentences, I began making stories up for new GI Joe characters and putting my friends into thrilling tales.

I'm not sure the 13-year-old me would have counted on becoming a dad. Of three boys.

In 2004, I met my wife and we did the whole ritual: dated, got engaged, married, bought a house, and had a kid. Times three (not three houses). Being a dad has been the most amazing thing in my li...more

The Darwin Elevator by Jason M Hough book review

The Darwin Elevator is going to get compared to Joss Whedon’s cult-fav TV/Movie series Firefly/Serenity. They both have a quirky team of shipmates, a cool but rugged ship, a dashing/complex captain, space, earth or earth-like planet, and, of course, zombie-esque creatures. Because of these elements, comparisons are going to be made.


And they are wo...

“The Booker thing was a catalyst for me in a bizarre way. It’s perceived as an accolade to be published as a ‘literary’ writer, but, actually, it’s pompous and it’s fake. Literary fiction is often nothing more than a genre in itself. I’d always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s, as substitutes for experience.”

James Barney Thanks for the friend request, Raymond. Nice to meet you.


Yvonne Hi Raymond! Thanks for adding me to your friends.


Milton Esitubi Mary Anita And The Second Liberation In Kenya Consider this entertainment full of African passion and flavour, culture, social life and politics.


message 3: by Ed

Ed Rambeau Thanks for your recent friend request, Raymond, which I happily accept. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author, so perhaps we can share books and ideas in the future.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
