children's author · educator · curriculum developer Eric Arnold is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and is now living in the Boston area although he has remained loyal to Cleveland sports teams. Working as the stock boy in his father's grocery store is one of his earliest informal education memories. He completed his formal undergraduate education at Miami University (Ohio) and his graduate work at Boston University and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Inspired by his experience as a public school educator, Eric has written seventeen children's books including sports fiction, science, biography and humor. He's also written "A Day in the Life" series and books for the Star Wars movies. Eric also co-founded and was president and head writer for Hole in the Sock Productions, a non-profit audio production company that created original features about kids for NPR’s All Things Considered and for WGBH/Radio in Boston. Hole in the Sock Productions was also committed to introducing radio drama as a ‘live performance art’ for young audiences. When Eric is not writing, he's either cartooning, drawing, reading, hiking or traveling. He is always working on his slug-detection radar. |
