Eric J. Guignard writes dark and speculative fiction from his office in Los Angeles.

He has over fifty publishing credits for stories and articles in magazines, journals, and anthologies. He’s a member of the Horror Writer’s Association, the Greater Los Angeles Writer’s Society, and is also the Horror Genre Correspondent for Men’s Confidence Magazine.

Although his passion is for fiction, he’s also a technical writer and a published essayist including such diverse topics as genealogy, woodworking, banking, and ecology. As an anthology editor, he's published Dark Tales of Lost Civilizations (2012, Dark Moon Books), which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award®, and this year’s critically acclaimed release, After Death… (2013, Dark Moon Books).

He humbly admires many authors and counts such inspirations as: Cormac McCarthy, George Orwell, Stephen King, John Steinbeck, Joe Lansdale, Clive Barker, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Ernest Hemmingway, Robert McCammon, Mark Bowden, O. Henry, and James Ellroy.

Most importantly, Eric is married to his high school sweetheart, Jeannette, and father to an adventuresome toddler son, Julian James. When not writing, Eric designs and builds custom furniture and is an amateur entomologist.
