Mike Edwards

Mike Edwards grew up the son of a Southern Baptist preacher in Minneapolis, MN. He holds political science degrees from Rice University, located in Houston, TX, and the University of California, San Diego, and he currently lives with his wife in Cambridge, MA.

As a writer, Mike Edwards' primary interest is in politics, particularly the intersection of politics and the media. When he's not writing, he keeps up with current events on cable news, the New York Times, and ESPN; he reads history, political theory, and fantasy novels; and he spends more time playing online computer games than he would care to admit.

"Democracy Despite Itself" is his first book.

Mike's musings on current events can be found at www.leftfielder.org and Huffington Post.
