Goss on Roundtable Reviews"...The author has a strong background in the history of Dark Ages Europe..." -- Brad Eden of the Historical Novel Society About the Author Eric was born in Los Angeles in 1968. He is the author of three historical fiction novels, GOD'S HAMMER and its sequel s , RAVEN'S FEAST and WAR KING . All tell the story of the first Christian king of Viking Age Norway, Hakon Haraldsson, and his struggles to gain and hold the High Seat of his realm. Eric's fascination with Vikings and medieval history began at a young age, though exactly why is not clear. While Los Angeles has its own unique history, there are no ancient monasteries or Viking burial sites or hidden hoards buried in fields. Still, from the earliest age, he was drawn to books about Viking kings and warlords and was fascinated by their stories and the turbulent times in which they lived. He began writing as a child, though never considered it as a career until he was in graduate school studying business . It was there that Eric began researching and writing GOD'S HAMMER, his first novel. Eric now resides in Santa Barbara with his wife, his two children, and his dog.
