Author to Present Program on Identity Theft

Author E.D. Frazier will present a program and hold a book signing at the Garnet A. Wilson Public Library in Waverly on Monday, March 30 at 6:00p.m. in the Community Meeting Room. He is the author of A Deed of Trust, an eye-opening insight to the small do’s and don’ts of protecting your identity.

E.D. Frazier is a graduate of Wheelersburg High School. He is a Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist and has extensive experience at all levels of real estate finance. He and his wife, a native of Waverly, Ohio, currently live in Charlotte, NC. This is his first novel.

Identity theft is on the minds and lips of almost every American today. Over 20 million people in the United States this year alone will be touched by the fastest growing white-collar crime in history.

A DEED OF TRUST is a story about greed, murder and revenge, and how the carelessness and complacency of the unsuspecting can lead to a financial empire for a single predator. People are losing their biggest and most-treasured investment -- their homes – to identity theft. You may already be the next victim.

In A DEED OF TRUST, old friends become allies and relationships become renewed. Someone, however, will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Over two season, 1933-34 and 1934-35, they won back-to-back state championships and in the process, perhaps as many as 100 games. The Wonders astonished overflow crowds in the state’s largest arenas with their whirlwind passing, deadeye shooting, lockdown defense and whimsical showmanship.
