Stephen Segal, editor and coauthor of Geek Wisdom, and I will be at The Raconteur in Metuchen on Friday from 8 to 11 p.m. We'll be discussing geekery, reading from the book, and juggling flaming hamsters.

I peeled it open, as you do with boxes -- a box can be labeled "Your Death Within" and you'd still open it; so would I -- and found inside a treat. A wonderful little treat. It was this: Yes, that is Geek Wisdom, brainchild of award-winning editor Stephen Segal and a book to which I am proud to say I contributed. I and a team of other writers wrote some really great geek stuff, brief essays on video games and…
Stuff Every Husband Should Know

Stuff Every Husband Should Know reviews are in

Posted inWorks by Eric, Writing
While I enjoy receiving feedback on my work, both good and bad -- criticism can be helpful -- I don't generally make it a point to seek out reviews. However, some reviews of Stuff Every Husband Should Know have been sent my way, so I thought I'd share them. Phillyburbs.com called it a "must-have guide" featuring "priceless practical wisdom that all wives hope their husbands possess."

I've blogged on and off about the project I tackled last spring, and am pleased to announce that my second book, Stuff Every Husband Should Know (Quirk Books 2011), is out in stores TODAY. Hooray!

It's filled with all sorts of great stuff my wife wishes I actually did. :-) The book is available at Amazon (including a Kindle edition), Barnes & Noble (including a Nook edition), Target, Borders, Booksamillion, and fine bookstores and gift shops everywhere.
