For decades Eric has had a fascination with what he refers to as “The Fork In the Road Syndrome”, both in what he writes and reads. This is evidenced in the 30 short stories that make up THE FORK IN THE ROAD series - six volumes he expects to launch through digital retailers during December, 2024, and even more so in his novel, THE PRICE TO PAY, a political thriller set in Amity, a fictional island off the east coast of Australia, which will follow. About half of the stories have been published or broadcast over the years.
Eric lives in Sydney, Australia, where many of the stories have been set.
My tastes are eclectic and I look forward to sharing my thoughts, comments and recommendations of favoured books and movies. Ever since I was 15 I have recorded and rated every book I have read and movie I have seen, so with over 6,000 books and many thousands of movies, it is a rich field to be harvested.
I plan to have a monthly newsletter which will cover the spectrum: what I am writing, where the ideas came from and the development of the characters who people them; what books I have read and the movies I have seen.
where you will be able to obtain a free copy of his short story IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW, plus, simply by providing your email address, a free ‘Bonus Volume’ of five stories. And, while you are there, why not sign up for Eric’s monthly newsletter. Thank you, Eric.

Firstly, thank you for taking this step, and, I will reply to your emails, comments or questions.
I will be delighted if you tell me what you are reading, or movies you are watching.
I have always created lists – piece of cake now with computers and spreadsheets.
Years ago it was “My 10 Favourite Novels” (I did not include classics – say before 1900, and non-fiction), then Top 13, then, as the books read climbed into the thousands I relented and made it Top 20. If you would like a copy of my top 20 please ask. A list like this is and, by its origin and nature, has to be subjective, but you might find some titles to put on your To Read List. Thank you, and Happy Reading, Eric.
