Eric T. Benoit was born in New Jersey and raised in Massachusetts. He moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2007, where he currently lives with his wife and 6 cats.
The son of an avid reader, Eric learned to read at a young age. Like his father, he fell in love with science fiction and fantasy.
His first character, a red-haired elf from the village of Borbury named Bethriel, visited his mind many times over the last 20 years, pleading with him until he finally decided to put her world on paper. Helping to indulge her long-time wish, Eric's first novel, "Flames of Khyveria, The Khyverian Chronicles, Book 1", is planned for release in late in 2012.
