Raised on and living around military bases while fed a steady diet of B-movies, science fiction, and comic books, Erik Hendrix has become a mad-scientist creator and world-builder through his writing. His curiosity for history was sparked at a young age by his father, a retired Marine and Vietnam Vet, whose passion for genealogy extends back decades. Erik's study of history continued into college, when he took countless extra courses 'for fun', leading into his professional writing career, which include co-writing the graphic novel D-Day: Storming Fortress Europe for Osprey Publishing.
