Hello, reader

On my mind

I love character-driven historical fiction and stories about queer lives. I'm working on a new novel about the struggles of a brilliant and rebellious Puritan teenager in 18th c. Boston.

Why I'm excited to talk

A teacher by training and profession, it's a pleasure for me to talk with readers about my characters and plots, as well as my research and writing process.

Always happy to hear from you,

Edward

Where I've written

Disorderly Men

Three gay men in pre-Stonewall NYC find their fates thrown together in the police raid of a Village bar.

Roger Moorhouse is a Wall Street banker and Westchester family man with a preciously guarded secret. Columbia literature professor Julian Prince lives a comparatively uncloseted life when he finds his first committed relationship tested to its limits. For Danny Duffy, a carefree Irish kid from the Bronx with a sassy mouth and diverse group of friends, the raid is a galvanizing, Spartacus moment.

The three men find themselves in a police wagon together, their private lives threatened to be revealed to the world. Blackmail, a private investigator, Gus’s disappearance, and Danny’s quest for retribution propel Disorderly Men to its piercing conclusion, as each man meets the boundaries of his own fear, love, and shame. The stakes for each are different, but all of them confront a fundamental question: how much happiness is he allowed to have … and what share of it will he lay claim to?

"Edward Cahill’s wonderfully titled Disorderly Men is a bright, vivid, funny, smart homage to the pre-Stonewall era. A novel at once timeless and timely."

― David Leavitt, author of Shelter in Place
