Author Bio:
Ed is an entrepreneur based in London, UK, who’s first novel is the Fourth King.
This idea came about when he noticed a mediaeval painting of several magi surrounding the infant Christ and realised the story of “Three Kings” had probably only emerged because of the three gifts – gold, frankincense and myrrh.
He’s also written a film script “On Earth”
Logline: In Ancient Rome, a young noble-woman becomes involved with the newly-arrived apostle Peter and his family. A cousin of the narcissistic Emperor Nero, she innocently brings the small Christian group to his attention, with disastrous and historic results.
A film that gives a plausible explanation of how a small sect with a very strange story became the world’s largest religion.
The script has won the coveted “recommend” status from a couple of professional Hollywood readers.
