THE JERSEY SHORE
AFTER SANDY
 The Jersey Shore is a world unto its own, a strange, eclectic and beautiful place with ugly people and beautiful sights, and ugly sights and beautiful people. I love that dichotomy, and that's why my heart broke when the place I lived was destroyed by Mother Nature. This eBook is a chronicle of three New Jersey families (and more) living through Superstorm Sandy, from the fear and devastation of storm day to the chaotic days after, when homes were destroyed and lives were torn apart. Ebook only, courtesy of the Philadelphia Weekly.

YOUR AWESOME EDITOR
IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
 Starting NOW, I will be putting my 13 years experience as an editor and writer to work with Your Awesome Editor, an independent editorial service that runs the gamut from proofreading to consultation to full-service assistance with self-publishing. I'll be specializing in helping people who want to self-publish their own work, but will also be working with aspiring authors who want to break into the world of traditional publishing, too. That includes helping perfect their manuscripts, assistance with query letters and proposals, and more. Surf on over and take a look, or find us on Facebook.

INTRODUCING
LAKEHURST: BARRENS, BLIMPS & BARONS
 It took a ridiculous number of years, many interviews, and loads of love-laden labor, but Lakehurst: Barrens, Blimps & Barrens is finally ready for reading and available for purchase. This massive tale of a tiny town spans military and railroad history, personal stories, and more. After three traditionally published books, it also marks Eric's first work of self-published prose. Here you'll read tales of exploding airships, luxurious railroads, and quirky Pine Barrens residents. Find out more here.

A YEAR OF HITCHCOCK
IS COMING TO PAPERBACK!
I'm proud to announce that A Year with Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense is coming to paperback, complete with a new cover. The initial hardcover release targeted academic outlets and librares; it was an upscale edition priced to match. But on October 28, a paperback edition will hit bookstores near you -- and this one is priced to move. Our publisher is listing it at just $19.95. If you haven't had a chance to pick it up, this fall is your chance!

PITCHED! 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE!
 More stories, more artists, more imagination. Pitched! 2 is ready for purchase! Eight more stories created in collaboration with a slew of visual artists. That's the gist of Pitched! Vol. 2: Seven More Stories (no, the title is not incorrect), an anthology of short stories in graphic novel format. Six of the seven awesome adventures here are by the same author (me, natch), but vary in tone, style and genre thanks to the work of some very talented collaborators. Go here for purchase links!
