| Ed Who?
Accidental Heroes, Accidental Villains is Ed Chung's first novel. Chung
is an award-winning academic who has published widely in applied
anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, among others.
Fiction-writing, in his opinion, is not much different from so-called
non-fiction research publications -- they are all words spun together
to tell a story.
Chung is an eclectic reader. His favourites
include biographies and histories, but also span horror, humour, and in
fact anything as long as the writing is interesting. He hates reading
cookbooks, even though he loves to cook.
A self-proclaimed
history buff, he is particularly interested in using historical
accounts as a backdrop for his work -- fiction and non-fiction.
Originally from Hong Kong, he moved to Canada when he was 17, and has
lived and worked in different cultures since. He continues, however, to
be intrigued by the duo Chinese philosophical streams (Taoism and
Confucianism), which have so often informed his writing. He currently
holds a tenured faculty position in a liberal arts college in
Pennsylvania and lives in Maryland with his family.
Ed Chung is also known as Ricardo Chunski among friends.

Other Stuff about me:Coming Soon, I guess. But you already know a fair bit about me from my home page.
If you have read my book, maybe you can send me a review, and I can post it here? I don't know.
