Eric James Stone is a past Nebula Award winner, Hugo Award nominee, Writers of the Future Contest winner, and two-time finalist for the Association for Mormon Letters Awards. Over sixty of his stories have been published in venues such as Year’s Best SF, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and Nature.  His science fiction thriller Unforgettable, published by Baen Books, has been optioned by Hollywood multiple times.

The son of an immigrant from Argentina, Eric grew up bilingual and spent much of his childhood living in Latin America. He also lived for five years in England and became trilingual while serving a two-year mission for his church in Italy. After majoring in political science at BYU (where he sang in the Russian Choir for two years), he earned a law degree from Baylor. He did political work in Washington, D.C., for several years before shifting career tracks to become a web developer.

After giving up on creative writing for over a decade, in 2002 he started writing fiction again. In 2007 Eric got laid off from his day job just in time to go to the Odyssey Writing Workshop.  He has since found a new day job and now works as a systems administrator and programmer.

From 2009 to 2015 Eric was an assistant editor for Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show.

Eric lives in Utah with his wife, Darci, who is an award-winning author herself, in addition to being a high school science teacher and programmer. They have two children.
