G. Eric Francis

I believe that a writer is just someone who tries to convey a tale that will grab hold of a reader until they are changed in some way, even briefly, once the final word is read. My personal work of non-fiction is not that exciting, but here we go. I was born in NYC, growing up a Yankee fan and spending many days writing to distract me from a socially awkward childhood. I attended Utica College, graduating with a Journalism Degree but too unenthused to make little money while working my way to a respectable living. After many a rejection letter from publishing houses and agents, I stopped writing for 10 years until a friend of me kicked me in the backside with this one statement: DON’T GROW OLD AND ASK YOURSLEF, “WHAT IF?” My writing serves 3 purposes: to entertain, to make you think, and hopeful open your eyes to the world (or at least make you laugh a little). I am a married man with 2 (mostly) great kids, both on the Autism Spectrum, including one with Downs Syndrome, residing in the Midwestern United States.
