Author
Edward Punales
I’m a writer, poet, filmmaker, and lover of mythology, science fiction, art, and cheeseburgers. I’ve published three short story collections, written and/or directed a handful of short films, regularly publish new work on my Medium page, and have spent way too much time on the internet watching old vine complications. I used to write under the pen name Edward Lange, but I switched to my real name in 2015. I live in South Florida.
