Eric Dallaire

Eric Dallaire is the author of the best-selling science fiction novel, Shades: The Gehenna Dilemma. The themes in his debut novel represent a lifetime of “field research” watching movies and reading books about aliens, zombies, space battles, and dragons. He’s been writing stories since his parents bought him an Atari 400 computer (the one with that cool flat press keyboard). He wrote his first adventure when he was 8 years old, a fantasy story that featured six endings. That love for technology and interactive writing led to a career in the video game industry, where Eric wrote puzzles and scripts for games in the Star Trek universe and The Simpsons. He worked with Amazon as a first party developer to create Dusk World, an original playable novel in their Living Tales product line and the first multi-ending novel on Kindle.

When Eric is not writing, he pursues his other interest in game design. He’s proud of the fact that he co-founded TeachTown, a pioneering company that combines proven behavior treatments with video game reward systems to help teach children with autism. He’s a futurist that’s worked on dozens of cutting edge PC, console, and mobile games. Currently, he’s working on expanding the Shades series along with a brand new book franchise in development.
