Welcome to Inside the Minds of Authors. A podcast dedicated to bringing you passionate authors with exciting books. The talented novelist, Mr. Edward M. Hochsmann, is joining us on the program. We are chatting about his latest book, Bravely and Faithfully.

Edward Hochsmann is a retired U. S. Coast Guard search and rescue, and a law enforcement professional. The veteran mariner, aviator, college professor, and defense analyst has recently added “novelist” to his list of experiences. Drawing from his twenty-five years of active service, he has crafted an exciting contemporary sea adventure series featuring the crew of a small Coast Guard cutter snatched from the hurly-burly of high-tempo operations in South Florida and thrust into the shadowy world of sensitive special missions.

Each of his four novels (so far) immerses the reader into the exciting world of Coast Guard operations, experiencing the fear, elation, humor, and sadness in the character-driven stories alongside the crew of the patrol boat Kauai. A husband and father of two sons, Ed enjoys reading, police procedurals, contemporary music on the road, and classical music in the office. He is a native of Northern Illinois, but has spent most of his adult life on the Gulf Coast, on duty stations from Panama City to Houston, and has finally settled in Crestview, Florida.
