Who is this Goodreads Goodman?

One of the first things I did in my first blog, WRITEFUL, fifteen years ago was to introduce myself. Back then, I was an aspiring writer hoping to become an established novelist.

My bio is a little different now, having had five books published by small publishing houses and university presses with a sixth on the way, and with more short fiction, article, and travel story credits to my name.

Here is my short bio, just so you know who you're reading:

Eric D. Goodman lives and writes in Maryland. He is author of THE COLOR OF JADEITE (Loyola University’s Apprentice House Press, 2020), SETTING THE FAMILY FREE (Apprentice House, 2019), WOMB: A NOVEL IN UTERO, (Merge Publishing, 2017) TRACKS: A NOVEL IN STORIES, (Atticus Books, 2011), and FLIGHTLESS GOOSE (Writer’s Lair Books, 2008).

More than a hundred of his short stories, travel stories, and articles about writing have been published in literary journals and periodicals.

Eric is co-founder and curator of Baltimore’s popular Lit & Art Reading Series. When he’s not writing, Eric loves traveling.

Kristin Carter-Groulx Your travel stories are my favourite. It helps to have lived a life well traveled. You're clever with character dialogue and wit and taking the reader on a journey through words. It's an honour to have known you for so long and to have read your books and short stories. Tracks is my personal favourite. I challenge your next novel to be Sci-Fi 😊 Your friend, Kristin www.kristingroulx.com

Eric Goodman Thanks, Kristin! Hard to believe Tracks: A Novel in Stories was published 10 years ago this fall. Time moves ahead like a speed train, but, fortunately, with a lot of travel stories within.

My younger self wrote drafts of both a science fiction and fantasy adventure novels. Perhaps one day I'll dust those off and revisit the genres.

So many things to write, so little time on the speed train.
