Person
By day Eric Lewis is a research scientist weathering the latest rounds of mergers and layoffs and still trying to remember how to be a person again long after surviving grad school. In addition to subjecting his writing to one rejection after another, he can be found gathering to himself as many different sharp and pointies as possible and searching for the perfect hiking trail or archery range.

His short fiction has been published in Nature, Cossmass Infinities, Hybrid Fiction, Electric Spec, Allegory, Bards and Sages Quarterly, the anthologies Crash Code, Into Darkness Peering, Best Indie Speculative Fiction Vol. 1, the short story collections As It Seems and Tricks of the Blade and many other venues detailed at ericlewis.ink.
