Eric is the author of *Shadows of the Past*, the first book in an ongoing series about the aftermath of the Martian invasion in the War of the Worlds. He’s currently working on the next book, *Clouds in the Future*, as well as a few fantasy stories that he won’t talk about yet.

Eric was lucky enough to inherit an incurable curiosity about technology and a tremendous love of science fiction from his father. Both led to a career repairing radars in the U.S. Army, followed by another as a programmer on Wall Street. Now, he writes about technology during the day, while writing scifi part time.

His book page on Amazon is https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Eric-Goebelbecker/author/B0CR8PWDB9 and his website https://ericgoebelbecker.com.
