Edo's degree is in Creative Writing from Toronto's York University, and there's an irony in that: he is the most practical, down-to-earth wordsmith I've ever met.
Edo was quickly made a contributing editor of the Bulletin of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), and Canadian membership representative for the Horror Writers Association; this past year he's served on HWA's elections search committee, and is in his second year on SFWA's Board of Directors (as Canadian Regional Director).
Edo's first novel, Wyrm Wolf, was the only entry in White Wolf's initial Worlds of Darkness line to make it to the Locus bestseller's list, and, against all the odds, it went on to be a finalist for HWA's Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel of the Year.
EdovanBelkom is also the author of "Mark Dalton: Owner/Operator" an on-going adventure serial published monthly in Truck News since 1999.
Born in Toronto in 1962, vanBelkom graduated from York University with an honors degree in Creative Writing.
A frequent guest speaker and panelists at writing conferences and conventions in Canada and the United States, Edo was Toastmaster of the 1997 World Horror Convention in Niagara Falls, New York, and co-host of the 2001 Bram Stoker Awards in Seattle, Washington.
