Publicity and Interviews

July 29, 2025: Eric produced a story for NPR on a coral reef nursery in the Florida Keys. Listen to that story here.

Eric was a guest on the Off Gassing Scuba Podcast. He talked about his early career in scuba, and the scuba industry, as well as writing and making diving fiction believable. 

Carter Taylor Seaton interviewed Eric about “Held Hostage” and his writing and research for the local television show “Chapters.” Watch it on YouTube now.

Eric was recently interviewed by Michael Wall for the Too Opinionated podcast. You can watch the podcast on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Following the tragic fire on the MV Conception in California, CNN asked Eric to write an essay. Read it here.

He also appeared on CBSN and Fox News Fox and Friends to discuss the tragedy. Watch both clips.

In July, 2017, Eric joined Eclectopia host Jim Lange on the air for an hour of music and mayhem. Includes a short reading from The 3rd Key!

Review an interview from the Charleston (WV) Sunday Gazette-Mail on 8-16-15.

2015-07-03 10.38.22I was a guest on the Reboot It technology podcast talking about the technothriller Return to Cayman: Paradise Held Hostage and the technology issues that keep coming true.

From the Cayman Compass newspaper. (I never actually lived on the island, just conducted training there.)

Cayman 27 came out and did a story at the Cayman release party as well. It’s only 47 seconds long, but still pretty good.

The same process is used to create “blue prints” of … Read more
