Eric Hendrixson

In 2002, Eric Hendrixson was cut off by a brand new Mercedes-Benz SLK while driving a late 80s Toyota Camry. That roadster is the most beautiful thing he's ever destroyed, and it makes him smile to this day. In 2005, he quit teaching English. In 2007, he was disqualified from the Isshinryu World Karate Championships for excessive violence against a dwarf. In 2010, his first book, Bucket of Face, was published by Eraserhead Press. The Ninja's Wife was in the 2014 Wishful Thinking anthology. Giving the Finger appeared in the 2015 Bizarro Starter Kit Red, and a collection of the same name is forthcoming. Drunk Driving Champion came out in 2016. In 2013, he moved from Washington, D.C., to the South Side of Chicago, where he lives with his beautiful, long-suffering wife and above-average-looking, seldom-suffering step-cat. He has never eaten this or any other cat. He lives three blocks from Barack Obama's house and still hasn't been invited over, not even once. Not for dinner, not for a barbecue, no lousy potluck, not for a cocktail, no beer summit, not even a cup of coffee. Dude, it's been three years. It's getting awkward.
