In this episode of Alley Chats, Rob sits down with Eric Lard, the award-winning science fiction author behind The Incursion Chronicles, The Soul Machine Saga, and The Chronicles of Bodie Nine.

Eric shares his journey from surfing and snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada to crafting epic sci-fi adventures filled with high-stakes action, deep character arcs, and visionary worldbuilding. With multiple honorable mentions from Writers of the Future, Eric has carved out a reputation for creating immersive universes where technology, humanity, and survival collide.

We talk about his inspirations, writing process, and the challenges of building multi-series science fiction worlds while balancing life as a husband and father of three. If you love space operas, sci-fi sagas, and indie authors who push boundaries, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Eric lives at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in Northern California, where he enjoys surfing, snowboarding, and mountain biking with his wife and three adult sons. His work often appears on the “galactic interweb” between the static of daily life. Eric has earned one Honorable and two Silver Honorable Mentions from Writers of the Future and is the author of:

• The Incursion Chronicles

• The Soul Machine Saga

• The Chronicles of Bodie Nine

• Plus several upcoming standalone novels
