About this author

I was born with ink in my veins and magic in my heart. As a child, where others saw shapes in clouds, I saw words. But I was also an entrepreneur at heart. So when my business arrangement with the Tooth Fairy ended, I went pro with my writing. My stories sold better than any lemonade stand and even beat out my museum of fossilized rocks in revenue.

Today I’m posting chapters 3-5, including some new Drake chapters. As those of you who read the original Forbidden Mind know, Drake didn’t have any POV chapters. Now he does! :) Enjoy and keep an eye out for the extended edition of Forbidden Mind on June 26th from Evolved Publishing.

Ed Rambeau Thanks for your friend request, Kimberly, which I happily accept. You seem like an interesting person, as well as an accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS. Below is the link to my website which tell everything about my wicked past. LOL.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
