Edward Kelsey Moore says: 'The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is rooted in the fond memories I have of a childhood spent eavesdropping on the women of my family as they talked at family gatherings. Even when I was too young to fully understand the often very adult subject matter of their conversations, I was struck by how quickly the topics veered from heartbreakingly tragic to wildly hilarious. I was also amazed that the aunts and cousins who had the hardest and saddest lives were always the funniest people at the table. As I get older, it seems that I meet these same women again everywhere I travel, except now they have different skin-colors, religions and accents. My intention in writing The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat was to celebrate the joy of true friendship and to invite readers to remember the smart, funny and strong women in their lives.' Edward Kelsey Moore lives and writes in Chicago, where he also enjoys a career as a professional cellist. Edward's short fiction has appeared in several literary magazines and has been performed and broadcast on Public Radio. THE SUPREMES AT EARL'S ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT is his first novel.
