Edward Lodi’s fiction, nonfiction, and poetry are firmly rooted in New England history, nature, and folklore. He has written and edited books on King Philip’s War, The Pequot War, and King William’s War, and several books on New England folklore and legends. Much of his prose and poetry, including the six novels in his Cranberry Country Mystery series, is based on his experiences working on the cranberry bogs of Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts. Involved in the American Civil Rights Movement, he taught English for three years at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1970 he moved to San Francisco to become a hippie, but quickly came to his senses and returned to Massachusetts. In the early 70’s he taught English, part-time, for two years at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. For more years than he cares to remember he was first a social worker, then a trainer of social workers, for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. From 1999 through 2022 he and his wife, Yolanda, owned Rock Village Publishing, which published their own books as well as those of other authors. He now writes mostly mystery and horror short stories, and an occasional poem.
