Eric Goodman has worked professionally in many genres: novels, short fiction, journalism, narrative nonfiction/faux memoir, episodic television, song lyrics, even a rock opera. For many years, he directed the Creative Writing Program at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Most summers he teaches prose workshops at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival.
But he keeps returning to novels. Two new ones will soon be published. Curveball in May 2024, and Mary Dowling in early 2025.
Educated at Yale and Stanford, Eric lives with his wife in Sonoma County and New York’s Finger Lakes, drawing inspiration from the fine wines and natural beauty of both regions.

PRAISE for GOODMAN
Cuppy and Stew is completely natural, poignant, and riveting from the first page to the last. An easy read in the best sense of that phrase, and a major work of fiction."
- Ron Hansen, author of Atticus and A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion
"Goodman's writing is raw and honest, with a deep and evident appreciation of some fairly sensitive themes. Readers who have enjoyed the work of Mark Perry, Rebecca Walker, and Gary Nash should appreciate this passionate, complex, and insightful novel."
- Stephanie Turza, Booklist - Praise for 'Twelfth & Race'
“Eric K. Goodman is an extraordinary writer who has an extensive musical background, both classical and popular. He has traveled with groups and bands and as a result of his experience, he probably knows more about the whole rock scene than anybody else—and writes about it more effectively than anything I have read in the last fifteen years.”
-John Hammond, the legendary rock impresario who signed both Dylan and Springsteen to Columbia Records. - Praise for 'The First Time I Saw Jenny Hall'
