Listen to TRACKS on NPR

Author Eric D. Goodman read an excerpt from TRACKS, his novel in stories, on National Public Radio. You can listen to it here.



“The Stein” is an abridged version of “A Good Beer Needs a Good Stein,” a popular story from the novel that also won a state fiction prize from the Maryland Writers Association. A first-person version of the story was published in To Be Read Aloud.



WYPR, the Baltimore NPR station, describes the story as "a tale about marriage, growing old, and some lessons to be learned on the subject of give-and-take."



NPR describes author Eric D. Goodman as "a regular on the Baltimore literary scene."



Listen to the 10-minute reading here.

TRACKS Author Takes Goose to Today Show

Last Wednesday, there was a big event on The Today Show – America’s number one morning show. No, we’re not talking about the wedding. The Flightless Goose made an appearance on The Today Show to announce the new website.

To promote their childrens’ book, The Flightless Goose, Nataliya A. Goodman (the illustrator) and TRACKS author Eric D. Goodman (the author) went to Rockefeller Plaza during the taping of the show with a handmade poster announcing the publication of The Flightless Goose and launching the brand-new website.

As Matt spoke to the camera inside Studio 1A, “RunGoose” appeared above his head, curving over it like a hat. It appeared for a good 20 or 30 seconds as Matt came on and off screen.

Later during the show, Al Roker gave his animated weather report, part of it in front of the RunGoose sign.

Meredith Vieria saw the RunGoose sign and even asked for a copy once it goes to print in the fall.

As you may have guessed, the official website for The Flightless Goose is …
