Currently in Austria, I'm an American abroad for years & years who has lived or worked in six countries on three continents, the longest in Germany.

I'm the author of the Sally Witherspoon murder mystery series Death in the Ozarks & Murder on the Mississippi, an award-winning, bestselling Jewish LGBTQ historic fiction novel Caged Time, a short story anthology Connections, and a business book The Accidental Change Agent.

Reading and writing are my passions, when I'm not hiking one of the amazing trails in Austria or elsewhere.

Quotes by Erik S. Meyers  (?)

“With that, he took his coat from Sam and hurried out the door, down the steps, and away from there.

He was almost running, so excited to be free of the fake David.

He shook that David off like a dog shakes off water. He looked up into the sky and watched the other David float away, far away.

“Wish he would never come back,” he said aloud.”
Erik S. Meyers, Caged Time

“David stayed at the small coffeehouse for hours as usual. He drank cup after cup of strong coffee until his hands shook. He ate many bagels and waited.

He was reserved and hid behind the newspaper, reading it again and again, not wanting to interact or be noticed by the people around him, even though he did steal a glance now and then.”
Erik S. Meyers, Caged Time
