I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Marvin and Deborah Kalb at the author’s reception for the Gaithersburg Book Festival this past summer. I was there to talk about Tracks; they were at the festival to talk about Haunting Legacy.

Feature in the DC Examiner

Just yesterday, I was interviewed for an article in the DC Examiner. Later that same day, the article was published with the headline “Local author Eric D. Goodman wins gold medal in IPPYs for Tracks.”


The story is …

… in part a review of Tracks (“The interconnected stories provide an overarching story as told by a variety of perspectives, including a workaholic and a languishing poet.”)

… partly a news flash about my medal (“His novel recently earned the 2012 Gold Medal for Best Fiction in the Mid-Atlantic Region from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.)


… partly an announcement of my appearance at the Gaithersburg Book Festival (“catch Eric D. Goodman at the Gaithersburg Book Festival on May 19 at the Gertrude Stein Pavilion at 3:20 p.m.”)


… and mostly an interview with me about writing, reading, and going local. (“Being a local author, how important is it that local culture and settings be featured in your work?”)

Tracks on the Tube

Recently, I did a television interview at Loyola University. In the interview, I talked about Tracks, writing in general, offered advice to aspiring writers, and discussed my own beginnings as a writer and inspirations for Tracks.

Watch the 10 minute video at the link below and you’ll even learn whether or not any of the characters in Tracks are based on real people, and what three people I’d want to hop on the train with. (At least my spontaneous answer when hit with the unexpected question.)
