About the author

Eric Picard lives in Newport, RI with his wife Erynn in a home called The Conservatory that was built as a Livery Stable in 1680. In a former life, Eric was a commercial boat captain, SCUBA diver, and Lighthouse Keeper. For 25 years he's worked as a technologist at companies he's started himself, and large companies like Microsoft, Pandora Music and Bark Box.

Eric blends his background as a historian and visual artist to write immersive, atmospheric fiction where the contemporary world and forgotten corners of American history meet the supernatural. His upcoming series called Crystal Village Tales, begins with Legacy of the Bitterroots—a dual-timeline saga set in Idaho’s wild Bitterroot Mountains.

He is also the author of the urban fantasy novella Frost, and the nautical adventure short story, Sally Braid. When not writing, Eric walks for exercise, drives his boat, swims in the ocean, explores ghost towns, collects odd historical facts, and enjoys road trips across the United States.
