Author Biography

Gerry Edwards

The author of Candy Claws: From Claws to Claus, Gerry Edwards is a glass artist by profession. About eight years ago he began indulging his writing skills by writing articles for some national publications, These were articles that dealt with one of his hobbies, metal detecting. Gerry wrote these articles as part of a therapy program that he devised for himself after a serious automobile accident. The metal detecting gave him physical exercise and the writing helped him regain his skills with vocabulary that he had lost. He had been told that he would never do his glasswork again and would be limited because of the neurological damage that he sustained. After many surgeries and struggles in therapy, Gerry proved them all wrong. He wrote many articles over the years and started blowing and carving glass again. Whites' Metal Detectors was so impressed with the articles that to this day they still supply him with new detectors to explore and write articles about. His glasswork is exhibited in many prestigious galleries on the west coast. One day sitting in his living room he felt inspired to write a book that would bring smiles to children's faces and inspire their imaginations. In two weeks he completed his first manuscript and kept refining it until he self-published the first version. The paperback met with astounding local success. The four main papers on the Central Coast of California wrote wonderful reviews and even a local parent's magazine endorsed his book. Sales at local bookstores were great.
