Ed Williams is the self-proclaimed "Forrest Gump of Literature." His life took a
decided turn in 1995 when he bought a home computer and began writing down wild old
stories about his upbringing in rural Juliette, Georgia. These stories, through an
unusual series of events, were published in 1998 in hardback under the title, Sex,
Dead Dogs, and Me: The Juliette Journals. After starting out in four bookstores in
Macon, GA, Ed ended up being stocked nationally by the Books-A-Million chain. Ed's
second and most recent book, Rough As A Cob: More From the Juliette Journals has
already attained #1 Best Seller status for Southern-themed books on Amazon.com
Japan, Canada, and Germany. He has twice appeared on the Georgia Public Radio
program Cover to Cover, and has been involved in several literary festivals,
banquets, and spoken for such groups as the Kiwanis International, Rotary
International, and the American Advertising Federation. Recently, Ed helped form the
G.R.I.T.S., Georgia, and Grizzard, Southern Humor Show which co-stars author of the
best selling G.R.I.T.S. books, Deborah Ford, and Dedra Grizzard.

Established romance author Kristie Leigh Maguire writes: "Lewis Grizzard was my all
time favorite Southern humorist. Ed Williams has now been added to my very short
list of Southern humorists that I admire and enjoy. Who knows? He just may become my
favorite if he keeps cranking out books like his first novel, 'Sex, Dead Dogs and
Me' and 'Rough as a Cob'."

Ed Williams wrote over 200 "Free Wheelin'" columns and has more book, television and
film projects in various stages of development. Excerpts from his material can be
