In 1974, when he was a young teacher in California, author Selden Edwards started to write a time-travel novel about a famous rock and roll star transported to fin de siecle Vienna, 1897. Over the next thirty years he toiled over the same manuscript – revising it, adding layers and complexity to the tale. Winters and summers, when his colleagues were on vacation and his family was outside enjoying Santa Barbara or Lake Tahoe, Edwards would remain in his study and write. Each time he completed a new draft, he would send it to publishers and agents, but to no avail. Upon his retirement from teaching in 2003, Edwards gave it one last try. Working with a freelance editor, he spent another few years on the manuscript. This time there was no rejection slip. A literary agent called him “almost immediately” and submitted his novel to Dutton, whose editors purchased THE LITTLE BOOK within four days, 2008. It became a bestseller. He is also the author of THE LOST PRINCE, a prequel/sequel, the WW1 part of the Burden family saga, published in 2012. He is working on a third novel, the WW2 part of his story.
