Eric Garcia is a twenty-eight year-old writer originally from Miami, Florida. His first novel, Anonymous Rex, was published in 1999 in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all throughout Europe; the audiobook followed shortly thereafter, and then the trade paperback. Casual Rex is his second novel.

He attended Cornell University and the University of Southern California, where he majored in film and creative writing. He lives outside Los Angeles with his wife, Sabrina, his daughter Bailey, and his chubby dachshund Oliver.

Other than the Rex series (Anonymous Rex, Casual Rex, and the forthcoming Hot and Sweaty Rex), Eric keeps himself busy with a host of other projects; most recently, he has written a con-man novel entitled Matchstick Men, the film rights to which were purchased by Warner Brothers; it should see the publishing light of day some time after Hot And Sweaty Rex is released in 200 . He continues to write for both film and television, and is currently producing and writing the teleplay for the Anonymous Rex TV series. In his spare time, he tries to find a moment to breathe.
