Following a career as a radio announcer, author A.L. Edwards took a job at a funeral home. After spending 15 years in the business, he's learned what really goes on behind the scenes of death-centric businesses - and how corporations are ruining an industry once built on dignity and service. A.L. has written and spoken on the topic of grief and addiction; he's even ventured into the fiction genre with horror novels. Today, A.L. lives in the Southeast with his wife, dog, and bird. When not writing or speaking, he's playing music, entertaining, or story-telling in various places.
