Ed

Ed MacPherson is your college whiz-kid hyper-scientist: wormholes, time travel, heavy stellar engineering. When the aliens attack and you need a giant robot to fight them, he's your guy. When a galaxy goes missing, he's the one who misplaced it.

But there's something wrong in the dark layers of Ed's universe - and the problem might just be Ed himself...

Can I donate a dollar to have you send me a pdf or epub of Ed? I have a Sony E-reader and can't read Kindle files.

Just read through this and enjoyed it immensely! I think a significant choice was that you didn't make the awesome super-genius your self-insert. By making your self-insert the everyman audience surrogate instead, it's clear from the start that Ed is a vehicle for sci-fi shenanigans rather than a vehicle to show off your own intelligence. That humility makes the story more approachable, I think.

I have been having some difficulty connecting and don't want to miss an opportunity by assuming it's not a technological miscommunication. I'm trying to find out if the film rights to Ed are available and if you would consider optioning them to me? Fingers crossed.
