Edmond D. Smith has variously been a paralegal, advertising media planner, cabbie, furniture salesman and social worker. He’s lived in four states in various parts of the country, has visited most of the others as well as done a fair share of international travel. He spends much of his time reading everything he can get his hands on. A film buff and theater fan he has been a writer, mostly columns for local publications and has written occasional fiction for various online publications. Never a big sports fan he’s always believed that only boxing is really worth a damn as it strips sport down to its essential nature; a primal battle of one man’s skills and grit pitted against those of another man.
