Acclaimed by Kirkus Reviews and Publisher's Weekly. The Lithuanian-born American writer, Gediminas (Ed) Trimakas, better known to some as the novelist Holland Kane, has spent his childhood in Europe and his teenage years in New York City. After serving with distinction in the US Army Signal Corps, he participated in the successes, sins and pleasures of corporate life. He's flirted with bankruptcy, jousted with journalism, and prospered as an entrepreneur. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in fiction, and MBA in finance. As the nonfiction editor of the Sonora Review he published prose by the United States poet laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Maxim Kumin. His forthcoming memoir, Car Palace, reveal several regions of the soul--marriage, morals, ambition and risk--and asks, what does it mean to control your own destiny? He lives with his wife in the Pacific Northwest. Visit him online at www.hollandkane.com, and the forthcoming (under construction) www.trimakasauthor.com
