Eric grew up in central Illinois, and he now lives in northwest Iowa with his wife and two sons. He began publishing in 2008 when he started writing a quarterly column for a local newspaper. His first short story, “Ghost Bed and Ghoul Breakfast,” a spooky children’s story about a haunted bed and breakfast, came out later the same year. He has published more than 30 nonfiction articles/columns, four short stories, and a poem. Three of his short stories have won honorable mention in the CrossTIME Annual Science Fiction contest.
His first two young adult fantasy novels, Unveiling the Wizards' Shroud and The Squire and the Slave Master, are available from Muse It Up Publishing.
