An author, captain, teacher, father and friend.

The Adventures of Margo McPhee

Margo Mcphee didn’t choose to grow up on a big steel ship, traveling the high seas, from continent to continent, socializing with sailors and officers, learning about the celestial horizon, navigation, and seamanship. But that’s what life has given her.

Finding My Father

Eric’s creative works are entwined with a moral framework that leaves us readers in a human state of reflection and kindness.

Margo McPhee 2nd and 3rd book: A Tale of Two Spies; A Cartel’s Nephew.

Madame DuPont is using Moses as a spy. His cover is as a tea boy on a military base in Chad that is run by the mercenary group formally known as Wagner. It is unclear if Madame DuPont was seeking intelligence for the US or if she was fishing for a new arms contract with the Russians.

“When you read Eric’s work, you forget you’re reading. His characters are simply there. Their emotions ring familar, thus true. Their stories become ours, and we want the best of endings – which he doesn’t always allow us to have.
