Screenwriter, producer, and aspiring novelist, Eric grew up staying after school to write on classroom typewriters (he’s that old). His path led instead to pre-medicine at the University of Virginia, but before heading down that trail he took a jaunt to Spain and his love of writing bloomed again. He never returned to med school.
Armed with a Masters in Film from Florida State, Eric spent a decade tinkering with producing and narrative development in Los Angeles. Somewhere along the way, he decided it was time to focus on his own writing. Raised on the gospel of Jackie Chan and the quiet poetry of things exploding, he leans toward action comedy. But if he’s not writing thrillers or sci-fi fantasy, he’s reading them in the library he built with his own hands.
Eric enjoys finding the drama in all genres. He, however, hates writing bios, so just read his stuff. It’s easier that way.
