Geraldine Edwards met the writer John Connolly in the nineties, they shared some of the same friends, including Robert Palmer, among others.

John Connolly did base a part of his Private Investigator character, Charlie Parker, on Geraldine Edwards, based in part because she was the County Psychic of San Diego County for three years in the 1990's and did actively work with the San Diego Police Department in the vernacular of a Special Investigator involved in active investigations.

According to Connolly, when he found out about this aspect of Geraldine Edwards life, he would ask her for details about the situation, some of which she gave him in a hypothetical way, due to the rules of confidentiality attached to any investigation.

When he created his Charlie Parker character, he did say that Geraldine Edwards did inspire the occult aspect of his character as well as part of the characters' intellectual reasoning and ability. When Geraldine Edwards first met John Connolly, he was working as a freelance writer. His first Charlie Parker novel appeared in 1999, and was a runaway success.

I am friends with Geraldine Edwards' niece who works for her aunt at her law firm in Los Angeles as an attorney. No, Geraldine Edwards does not have a Facebook account under any of her names, which would be Geraldine Edwards, Geraldine Angel Edwards or Geraldine Flemming-Mueller, if you were looking.

Was geraldine Edwards Robert palmers girlfriend and the woman who dated Eric clapton rick springfield roger daltry and others the woman almost famous was written about?

Yes she was. Geraldine Edwards met Cameron Crowe in San Diego, California, in 1975 backstage at the San Diego Sports Arena. At the time Cameron Crowe was interested in being a Sports Writer and was a fan of the San Diego Gulls. Geraldine suggested that he widen his range and interview all types of people, including musicians. He took her advice and found that he actually preferred interviewing musicians. It was written in some articles that Pam DeBarres and Bebe Buell were partial inspirations for the Penny Lane character. That is not correct. Penny Lane was eighteen years old and a San Diegan who was a groupie who hung around the "World Famous San Diego Sports Arena." That was the history of Geraldine Edwards, not DeBarres and Buell. In addition to that, Cameron Crowe cited Geraldine's name as the inspiration for Penny Lane in an 2000 interview.
