Eric J.W. Tate’s mind has always had a habit of wandering.
Growing up in another humdrum sun-stung California suburb,
Eric would escape to the vibrant and absurd worlds of
Wonderland, Hogwarts, and Earth-2. He carried around
copies of their respective novels until they fell apart,
clinging tightly to every ounce of their magic.
Now that he’s older, Eric lets his feet do the wandering.
Growing into a persistent, ambitious distance runner, he
has completed ten marathons around the country through
mountains, forests, and Area 51. Instead of books, it’s
his shoes he holds onto until they fall apart. They’ve
carried him through his own set of fantastical life
experiences that ground the stories he creates.
Despite his wandering ways, Eric’s writing has found its
place, where the life he leads and the lives he reads
converge: worlds of optimistic magical realism that take
you to places new yet familiar.
