Hi, I’m Eric—a poet, short fiction writer, and creative explorer with a passion for storytelling and self-expression. As I navigate the world, exploring new places and experiences, I find inspiration in the complexities of life, mental health, and the human condition.
On this site, you’ll find a curated selection of my latest writing pieces. From poetry to short fiction, I share updates on my published works, information about my podcast ‘Prompted!’, and more.
Before diving fully into my creative pursuits, I spent over 40 years in the IT industry, with the last 20 running my own successful IT services firm. My team and I tackled everything from cybersecurity and web development to technical project management. That journey taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of clear communication—skills that now shape my writing.
As a writer, I embrace the therapeutic power of words, using them to process emotions, share perspectives, and connect with others. My poetry explores themes of hope, resilience, and the raw edges of the human experience, while my short fiction allows me to experiment with different genres, from speculative and psychological to eerie and thought-provoking.
At the core of it all, I write to spark thought, evoke emotion, and leave a lasting impact—one word at a time.
The Prompted! Podcast
In February of 2025, I created an audio-only podcast show called ‘Prompted!’
No matter where you are in your writing journey, the unpredictability of prompts can be an invaluable exercise to help tap into your imagination, push you to think in new ways, explore fresh ideas, and refine your craft. They offer a creative spark, a challenge, and sometimes, a completely unexpected story waiting to be told.

I sat down with BOOKED, a podcast exploring the realms of creativity with indie writers. We talked about the therapeutic nature of writing, unsolicited criticism (a shared rite of passage), and had plenty of laughs along the way.

Let’s Get Social
To me, social media is about engagement and interaction with one another; without that, it’s not social at all.
I only have one social account, which is on Bluesky. Here I regularly post my responses to various writing prompts. I also share updates on my audio-only podcast, Prompted!
