Eric Whitlock, a 56 year old man, grew up in a small town in West Virginia. I am married to a wonderful woman named Kathy. We fell in love almost instantly. I have two bothers and a sister. I have three children. Two girls and a boy. I am an avid hunter and i like to fish. I worked for a manufacturing company for 25 years. I was in the reserve armed forces where i went to helicopter school to become a crew chief, earning my junior wings. I have always been interested in writing, but never made the effort to have my works published. Children have always been interesting to me because they do funny things and are unpredictable. My stories are fiction, but i try to envision things that are interesting to kids, and that is what i write about. I hope my stories are interesting and fun to read for you. God bless you all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Eric Whitlock
