The Poydras Ring

Ed Lee is a retired attorney turned historical fiction writer and the author of The Poydras Ring. With over 30 years of travel and research dedicated to New Orleans history, Ed brings this vibrant city to life, sharing his insights on his author's Facebook page. His next novel will delve into the daring exploits of the famous Louisiana pirates, Jean and Pierre Laffite, as well as Storyville madam Beatrice "Baby Doll" Hill.

Ed and his wife, Debi--who is a retired music teacher--live in Springfield, Missouri, where they actively support the local arts scene, including the Springfield Art Museum and Ozarks Lyric Opera Company. When he's not writing in his basement office, Ed does his best to dodge Debi's frequent reminders to get off his duff and exercise.
