Moristotle to both budding and fully flowered storytellers in search of an idea: I challenge you to write a credible story for Moristotle & Co. about the future of Donald Trump – if he has a future – or about his end, if you imagine he does not. I even offer you a scenario to get started:

Interviewed by Moristotle
I’ve now edited Ed’s four self-published novels, his self-published collection of childhood stories, and dozens of his essays, poems, and fictional pieces for Moristotle & Co.

We all have life stories, some that inspire us, others that are steeped in tragedy. We are drawn to those individuals who overcome tremendous odds and achieve greatness through sheer perseverance and drive. One such individual encompassed all of the above.
