Edward Gehlert started his career in the publishing industry in 2000 as a copy editor at MARCOA Publishing in San Diego, CA. Since that time he has written more than thirty books and has more than three million words in print. These works were military base guides, welcome guides, and business guides as well as informational booklets for the Social Security Administration and National Institutes of Health.
In 2003 he graduated from the Missouri Sheriffs Association Training Academy with a Class A Law Enforcement license; which is a fancy way of saying he went through the police academy. He worked part-time as a cop until 2010, all the while continuing to work full-time in publishing.
In 2014 his first novel, Dark Harvest, was released by New Babel Books. The story follows an orphan and his group of friends after the biblical Rapture takes place and the world as they know it comes to an end. His second novel, Reaping Sorrows, is a continuation of the Children of Enoch series and was released in 2017.
He accepted a job as the Editorial Manager for Happy Duck Publishing in 2016 after having held the same title at F&M Publishing for seven years and purchased the company in 2019.
He writes screenplays and enjoys networking with movers in the entertainment industry.
