“The tree was a towering, massive structure, with smooth white bark and wide tropical leaves. Its lower branches looked down on the pines huddled at its foot, and were Danny to stand away and look toward the forest, Danny was sure he’d see the mighty peak of the apple tree that wasn’t an apple tree form a proud ashen tower above its stunted neighbors.
Two thick limbs reached out from each side of the tree, mirror images, about ten feet off the ground, a living crucifix waiting for the nails.”
An excerpt from The Apple Tree, by Eric Trant

Eric Trant
earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin in 1994, and is the son of a librarian and English teacher, who shared with him her love of reading, writing, and above all, storytelling. Each morning he rises well before the Texas dawn, and in the quiet writes thousands of words. He is self-taught.
Raised during his formative years in the East Texas Piney Woods, and then later in a small town on the Texas Gulf Coast, Eric maintains an avid fascination with outdoor living. Eric’s blended perspective of rural, small-town, and city lifestyles is at the heart of his stories, often leading the reader deep into the woods where as a child, he and his brother discovered so many wonders. He now lives near Dallas, Texas, where he continues to explore the world around him.
He holds a U.S. patent for a statistical outlier algorithm, and has received numerous technical recognitions as a semiconductor engineer. His most-prized award is a simple plaque reading Anyone can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy. This plaque sits on his desk, in front of the embossed US patent.
Eric’s professional career covers a broad range of experience, including over twenty years of writing. As a freelance writer, he has dozens of short stories and four novels to his credit. The Apple Tree is Eric’s first published work.

Read your story and really enjoyed it. The reading of the stories does sound like it would have been fun.

Eric looks like you are doing good. I read the book and they are great stories, of course I liked yours the best. I like your comments on how to write a book, I never thought of how much goes into writing books. Good luck .DAD
Eric, I liked your woodworking story. I guess writing a book could be compared to woodworking, being you do both and I do woodworking and your mother does writing, so we both helped you out in that sense.
Awesome; simply awesome. As always, Eric!
Can’t wait until you get a novel released!!
Eric, I gave the book to Kym and she is reading it now. So far she likes it. It’s very impressive. Good luck on more of your publications.
Thanks Pop! Can’t wait to get more stories published, too. Exciting stuff.
