| Introduction | Ed McShane began writing at age 16. His first mentor, Frank McNaughton (A congressional Time Magazine correspondent) told him that if he wanted to be a good writer, to write a daily journal. Ed did just that. At age 24, Ed sent a letter to KPBS-FM in San Diego about a piece they did on older adults in the community. The letter got to the desk of a producer named Karen Kish, who called Ed to invite him to join a new program were Ed would interview people in his field on radio. Ed took the opportunity. Eighteen years later, the General Manager for KPBS, Doug Myrland, called Ed to invite him to submit his essays for their website, were he would be featured along with well known journalist in San Diego, Neil Morgan. Ed’s column drew a wide and consistent following drawn toward his humor, sincerity and insights about living. Early 2008 a Publisher contacted Ed to publish his work. Ed’s first book, Notes For The Heart, was released October 2008. It is a collection of essays that bring Ed’s insightful perspective about life with humor, care, and love. |
