Eric Shoars is a serial storyteller who considers the English language his playground and who never met a pun he didn't like. Eric is a modern day Walter Mitty with a serious twist. His writing style is best described as "fly on the wall" putting the reader in the shoes of the lead character experiencing what he does as he does. His heart's desire is to have a personal narrator for his daily life. It works in comic books so why not in the real world?

No Way Back Today is Shoars' first foray into fiction. His non-fiction works include Women Under Glass: The Secret Nature of Glass Ceilings and The Steps to Overcome Them and Evil Does Not Have The Last Word.
