Attraction of subject to biography which ive never been able to explain, but it happens. After i finished my last book, which was the third of a trilogy on Theodore Roosevelt i was looking around for another subject. My agent said to me, what about edison . About time somebody about did a book on him. I said i dont think i want to do another enormous biography, so i said no to the idea. But a few months later, mysterious how these things happen, i was at an airport in florida, fort myers, which is near where edison used to have his winter plantation, next to henry fords and i was running to catch a plane and came across this airport lobby display of a huge cutout, lifesize cutout of thomas edison. Thun of these photographic silhouettes. I literally barged into it. It was posed next to his leckedfied modelt that henry ford had given him. So here am i looking into Thomas Edisons eyes and i suddenly became overwhelmed with curiosity. This guy is fascinating, i have to write about him and
