Brian Edkins was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and spent his childhood there. He purchased his first novel at the age of six and quickly learned the joys of fiction reading. Upon graduation from high school, he spent three years in the U. S. Army. He received an Honorable discharge and returned home to attend college.
After graduation, Brian began traveling for business and spent the next thirty-five years traveling the globe. By the time he had retired, he had traveled to every continent in the world except Antarctica. Brian has often credited much of his inspiration to his vast travels and time spent with many inspirational families, friends, and those willing to share the stories of their villages, towns, and countries.
Brian has written six fiction novels (Hollow Wings, Waltzing with the Dark Angel, Sapphire, and his New Orleans Detective Series, The Mark, Tarot, and Runes.). He is currently releasing his seventh fiction novel, Vengeful Ways, the fourth novel in the Jack Kohl Detective Series, which is scheduled for release on June 1st, 2023.
