About Eric John Lockwood
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Eric has been a lifelong Michigan resident. A graphic designer for most of his life, Eric wrote casually since his youth. After exiting employment with the State Legislature, he was able to turn to writing full-time, for two years. This led to the publication of his first book, West Into Ruin, in 2019. He now juggles working full time and writing.
Since releasing the first book of his series, Out of Ruin, he followed it with the release of Book Two, North to Deeping Dark. South to Storms Reach followed, and the series finale, East to Souls Ease, was released in early 2025. Aside from his fantasy novels, Eric has written a number of short stories, including two that won local awards.
Eric has ambitions to write an entire string of series related to his initial series, set within the same world. While epic fantasy is his ‘first love’ in reading and writing, he is also a devotee of Sci Fi, with two science fiction novel concepts in the works. He hopes to live in Ireland, at least for some months of the year, one day.
He currently lives in Michigan with his wonderfully patient wife, Cindy, and three shades of cats.
