Despite what it says in my official bio (below), I'm an average guy. I have a job. I also write. Like all writers, I read, also. I read books about, well, just about anything. I'm very fond of Kurt Vonnegut, Phillip Dick, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman — and I can only hope that their collective influences will show in my own writing. Cluck is definitely more along the lines of Pratchett or Gaiman; it's a tongue-in-beak, kinda creepy, mostly funny exploration of a slightly different world and how to get along in it.

Eric D Knapp

Talented author and part-time defender of all that is good in the world, Eric D Knapp lives on a farm in New England with his wife Maureen and a host of animals (including, you guessed it, chickens). Eric studied English and Writing at the University of New Hampshire and the University of London, and went on to become an expert in the completely unrelated field of networking technology.

A few years ago, Eric found his soul (which had apparently been kicked under the sofa), and began writing professionally. His first book, Out of Place, Out of Time, was recognized with an Independent Publishers Book Award, and has been lauded with praise consisting of words like "brilliant" and "unique" and "imaginative".

And he's a handsome devil, too.
