Eric D.'s profile
Eric D. Goodman has been writing fiction since he was in the third grade, when a story assignment turned him on to the craft more than a quarter century ago. He has lived in Baltimore since 2000 (longer than any other place) and considers it home. Eric considers setting to be important to his fiction and treats locations like characters. Baltimore and specific locations within the city and the suburbs play an important role in Eric's fiction.
His latest work is Womb: a novel in utero (www.EricDGoodman.com/Womb.html) will be published by Merge Publishing in March 2017. Set in the city and suburbs of Baltimore, what makes Womb most unusual is the unique narrator. The entire novel is narrated from within the womb. Fictionalizing the concept that we all are connected to the collective consciousness before our brains must focus on bodily functions and motor skills, the narrator examines his own philosophies as well as the dramatic experiences of his mother, father, and their circle of friends and foes as his mobile phone carries him throughout Baltimore. Womb has been compared to Room by Emma Donaghue, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, and Nutshell by Ian McEwan.
Eric's last book, Tracks: A Novel in Stories, was published by Atticus Books in July 2011 (www.EricDGoodman.com/Tracks.html) and won the 2012 Gold Medal for Best Fiction in the Mid Atlantic Region from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
Eric is also the author of Flightless Goose, a storybook for children, published by Writer's Lair Books in 2008.
Eric regularly reads his fiction on the Baltimore NPR station, WYPR, and at book festivals and literary events.
Eric co-founded and curates the popular Lit and Art Reading Series at at the Watermark Gallery in downtown Baltimore, which draws authors and artist both regionally and from around the world. The Lit and Art Reading Series has features such authors as Madison Smartt Bell, Jessica Anya Blau, Jen Michalski, Jennifer Miller, Susi Weiss, Michael Kimball, Rafael Alvarez, and many others.
Eric's work has appeared in a number of publications, including The Baltimore Review, The Pedestal Magazine, Writers Weekly, The Potomac, Syndic, Grub Street, Scribble Magazine, Slow Trains, The Arabesques Review, and New Lines from the Old Line State: An Anthology of Maryland Writers.
