Guest Speaker : Erik Hanberg

Last week we had a Speaker Erik Hanberg in our TINST 207 class. Erik Hanberg works as a marketing consultant with Side x Side Creative, a marketing and design company. Erik Hanberg has been a writer all his life. Novels, screenplays, plays, even a stray poem or two. He lives in Tacoma, Washington, with family.

In addition to writing novels, he was elected in 2011 as a park commissioner on the park board of Tacoma. His most recent novel, The Lead Cloak, is now available on Kindle and in paperback. He is also Helping Small Nonprofits organizations. Based on his years of nonprofit fundraising and leadership, Hanberg published The Little Book of Gold, a fundraising guide for small nonprofits.

When he was just 23, Erik Hanberg was hired to run a non-profit arts organization. Since then he has worked in development at multi-million dollar non-profit, and has volunteered on many boards.

Here are the list of some books that he wrote

1.      The little book of gold (2009)

2.      The Saints Go Dying (2010)

3.      The Marinara Murders (2011)

4.      The Con before Christmas (2012) are about Arthur Beautyman, a computer hacker turned detective.

All three books can be easily enjoyed as stand-alone mysteries.
