E R Kallus

In CENTAUR'S CHAMPION, aviation historian and novelist E.R. Kallus launches his most recent offering, rich with vivid depictions of memorable characters in exciting, historically accurate situations: the same captivating writing style demonstrated in DENIAL OF SOLACE. Here and in his other works, readers will appreciate the authenticity that stems from the author's personal immersion in his subject.

In this new novel, Kallus adjusts gracefully from his insider's view of Navy Medicine to a fresh and exciting account of an Army mounted cavalry unit at Fort Brown in the Rio Grande Valley in the early days of WWII.

A former Naval Aviator and airline pilot, the author has a graduate degree in history. He and his wife reside in a cottage on the water on Virginia's Northern Neck, complementing their respective avocations. She entertains his penchant for history, traveling to Europe, tracing family roots in the Czech Republic, honing his skill in the language. At home, he assists the Bee Lady in her woodland apiary: likely as not during afternoons with a chainsaw, giving the bees better flight paths or improving their exposure to the sun.
