After a successful career in design, finance, and e-commerce, Erik Jacobs rediscovered that his true passion is writing stories that entertain and even motivate readers—through their characters, with their virtues and flaws—to have a more positive view of the world and their own mission in life. Erik wrote Heroes of Englandom—the first book in a trilogy—eager to introduce a young gay protagonist as the hero of a YA-dystopian novel. Erik feels at home in different countries, but he spends most of his time very close to the Pacific Ocean.
