Eric Lahti grew up looking for UFOs and buried treasure in northwest New Mexico. Unfortunately, he never found either of them. Or maybe he did and he's just not telling. He did find some good stories to tell at parties about lights in the skies and gold in the ground, though. When he's not writing, he's programming and practicing his Kenpo. He's also an active blogger, waxing philosophical about a range of topics from writing, to martial arts, to politics and religion. Frankly, he fancies himself something of a Renaissance geek about a wide variety of things. In addition to his current books, Better Than Dead is going to be published relatively soon-ish. He also runs a blog at Eric Lahti You can also visit his website that he updates intermittently, check out his Twitterific Tweeting or visit him on Facebook
