Ed Morykwas

Author Ed Morykwas has always loved creative writing,

believing it is the perfect way to connect with our shared

humanity. An English major and aspiring poet at UCLA, he

later taught Language Arts for twenty-three years to middle

school students.

When he isn’t writing thought-provoking children’s stories,

photography is a mainstay in Ed’s life, whether by taking

souvenir photos of visitors at the Detroit Zoo, serving as the

social media photographer for the city of Birmingham, Michigan,

or working for his professional photography company,

River of Time Photography.

He is also the original creator of the Famous Birthdays

website way back in 1996, attracting over 18 million hits

during the early days of the Internet.

Grateful for his family’s support of his creative efforts,

Ed lives with his wife in Michigan, a state they both love

for its natural beauty and friendly people.
