About Eric
By day, Eric Owlington is a wildly unsuccessful fisherman, giving him many hours to contemplate both fishy and non-fish related subjects, enjoy misplaced optimism, and explain to his dog why this activity is much more exciting than things like playing ball or chasing squirrels. For his own private reasons, the dog seems to have no apparent interest in either reading or writing. Well, you can't account for tastes. But Eric is ever hopeful that his best friend will one day get the hang of it.
Eric's wife, his most ardent supporter and companion of many years, adores his writing and hopes that one day it might actually pay a few bills, or at least cover a few boxes of Milkbones. The dog seems to agree.
When Eric set out to write the defining philosophical treatise of our age that would finally unravel the meaning of life and the ultimate answer, he somehow ended up with a book about mutants, tentacle monsters, and chainsaw-wielding heroines. This, he insists, is absolutely what the world needs right now.
"But in the end," he says, stroking his beard sagely, "life's too short for bad coffee, boring stories, or taking the world too seriously."

What is a day in the life of your typical high school grad?
...Definitely not this.
After a year of whispers and betrayal, Aki Sakamoto was looking forward to some time to recuperate on her grandparents' farm before taking on a return to school life.
But the universe had other plans.
What's a girl to do when stressing for "Finals" takes on a much, much darker meaning, and preparing for "lunch" involves body armor?
- It's simple.
- She grabs some unlikely and unusual allies, straps a rusty chainsaw across her back, and focuses on survival. If she also has to save the planet while she's at it... well, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
- This one might get messy.
- But hey, at least she has friends.

Behind the Scenes
The world of Aki Chainsaw began as a philosophical thought experiment about survival and human resilience... then tentacle monsters invaded. The characters have been getting up to all sorts of nonsense and are threatening another novel! Honestly, I don't know that I'll be able to stop them in time.
