About the Author

Eric Keller is a storyteller who refuses to be confined to a single genre. His work explores the human condition through the echoes of historical fiction, the bright wonder of children's literature, and the gritty intensity of dark fantasy.

Blood Spoken is the first installment in The Unmaking series. This dark fantasy novel introduces readers to Voicesong—a rare and dangerous magic where spoken words reshape reality—set against the brutal world of underground gladiatorial combat. It's a story about power, survival, and the unbreakable bonds we forge in darkness.

Eric is also the author of The Bear Soldier, a historical fiction novel that brings to life the incredible true story of Wojtek—a Syrian brown bear who was officially enlisted in the Polish Army during World War II. The novel follows Wojtek's journey with the troops, blending historical accuracy with the emotional drama of soldiers and their unlikely companion.

Currently based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Eric is sharpening his narrative craft as a Creative Writing major at Southern New Hampshire University. He lives with his wife, April, and their two children.

"My goal is simple: to write stories that captivate the imagination and remain in the heart."
