About Bill Ectric

Bill Ectric wants to believe it's possible to erase the line between mysticism and science. He likes to take long walks, drink coffee, sleep & dream, and contemplate the nature of reality. He has had two actual lucid dreams and is trying for a third.

On the internet, his writing appears on Literary Kicks, Sein und Werden, Spolia, Empty Mirror, Candlelight Stories, Red Fez, Boston Poetry, Perversion Magazine, Gin Mill Cowboy, The Beat, and Lit Up Magazine.

Bill’s novel, Tamper, is about a young man growing up in the 1960s obsessed with unexplained mysteries, B-movies, and strange noises in his parent’s basement. The book takes its name from real-life 1940s science fiction writer Richard Shaver, who believed that underground fiends were tampering with his mind.

One of his favorite sayings is the Zen proverb, "Before I was enlightened, I chopped wood and carried water; after I was enlightened, I chopped wood and carried water."
