Shining A Light on Human Nature

Ed Webster is the author of an eclectic collection of books and articles appearing in such diverse publications as the Boston Globe and Your Cat Magazine, highlighting offbeat aspects of human nature, real and fictional. His new novel, Carlos Crosses the Line, involves immigration, religious questioning, and of course, a romance. The main theme originated with the question, “What should you believe, if you don’t believe them?”
