Erik D. Larson is an Illinois farm boy turned MIT rocket scientist, decorated Air Force captain, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, avid gardener and aspiring waterman. He splits his time between Marin County and Hanalei, two versions of paradise.
He has written poetry, edited university newspapers and literary reviews, and published behavioral science research on how we really make decisions.
The Kikiloa Chronicles is his debut novel—a story born from a love for grandmothers and a lifelong fascination with time, choice, nature, and what it means to be human.
