edit data

Eric Shoars is a serial storyteller who considers the English language his playground and who never met a pun he didn’t like. Eric is a modern day Walter Mitty with a serious twist. His writing style is best described as “fly on the wall” putting the reader in the shoes of the lead character experiencing what he does as he does. His heart’s desire is to have a personal narrator for his daily life. It works in comic books so why not in the real world?

No Way Back Today is Shoars’ first foray into fiction. His non-fiction works include Women Under Glass: The Secret Nature of Glass Ceilings and The Steps to Overcome Them and Evil Does Not Have The Last Word.

The best thing for me to overcome writer's block is to go running. I'll let thoughts flow as I run because I have time to ponder without access to anything to write with. I find as I let thoughts flow, a piece of dialogue or action or next step for a character will find its way in. Then I'll write that note to myself when I return home and re-start my writing with that thread.(less)

Much of what I have writtien comes from either things from my life or those around me. My fiction writing is positioned upon my being a modern day Walter Mitty so that people are able to vicariously live the adventures through my various character incarnations.(less)
