Bill Edwards was born in New Jersey and grew up on a farm in Wyoming. He started out his career as a championship rodeo rider but, after several broken bones, he moved to New York and pursued a career as a model. He appeared as an actor in several Westerns during the 1940s before pursuing a second career as a painter and commercial illustrator. Along with painting scenes inspired by the Old West, Edwards illustrated over 100 paperback covers. In the 1960s, he started another career as a certified SCUBA diver and instructor. He died of pneumonia at the age of 81 in Newport Beach, California.

Thanks! Bill Edwards certainly appears to have led a colorful life!
“Clouded Passion” is laugh-out-loud hilarious…the picture, the tagline, everything!
“Party Girl” looks like Lisa Marie at her last job interview.
You know, my sister made the exact same comment when she first showed me the cover for Party Girl. I was like, “If that’s the case, then Lust Empire must be after I got the job.” Lol.
Actually, my favorite is Slum Virgin just because the title is so shameless.
