Eric holds a BA in English from Kean University and an MA in English from Arcadia University, two schools he adores. He uses those fancy degrees to teach the occasional literature and composition course at Peirce College. His Mom keeps these degrees hanging in his childhood home, and won't give them back.

When he isn't busy blogging and writing, he can be found at Quirk Books, an indie publishing house in Philadelphia, working as the social media marketing guy. Here he's had the honor of working with a number of New York Times bestselling authors, scores of wonderful books, hundreds of amazing bloggers, and a band of awesome coworkers. He also blogs there sometimes. Best. Job. Ever.
A native of New Jersey (don't hate), he currently lives in Philadelphia. You can find him on Twitter at @ericsmithrocks and @geekadelphia. He's represented by Dawn Frederick of Red Sofa Literary.
