About Erik

Writer, Cybersecurity Professional, DJ, Fiddler Crab

Author of Science Fiction and Fantasy

After writing for forty years, and making three different runs at publication, Erik sold his first story – to Analog Science Fiction and Fact, no less.

Encouraged by this welcome, but somewhat unexpected success, Erik is taking this whole ‘typing words out in a specific and pleasing manner’ thing seriously. To that end, he was accepted to and graduated Taos Toolbox 2023.

Erik is an Associate member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

My First Book

Erik thinks it was Hop on Pop. That is, he read it, he didn’t write it.
