Dennis, J. Eric: - In 2010, Eric left his 26 year long career in retail management, and at the age of 45, his mother Grace and his wife Kim put him through college. He graduated in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA and embarked on a new career as a teacher, which he immediately fell in love with. Eric teaches English Language Arts to 6th graders in Amarillo, Texas. The majority of his students are not native English speakers, most of them arriving to the USA with their families from Mexico, Asia, and East Africa.Eric has dabbled in writing his whole life, encouraged by his mother, but the "Azarah and Baldur" series of children's books represent his first published work.
