Eckert is also an expert on many of the authors and characters who inspired Farmer鈥攕uch as Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, Pellucidar, John Carter of Mars, and more), the pulp heroes (Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Avenger, etc.), Arthur Conan Doyle鈥檚 Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty, Ian Fleming鈥檚 James Bond, and Sax Rohmer鈥檚 Denis Nayland Smith, Fu Manchu, and Sumuru鈥攁s well as other heroic characters whose adventures Eckert has chronicled, including Zorro, Sexton Blake, the Phantom, Honey West, the Scarlet Pimpernel, the Domino Lady, and the Green Hornet, all of which can be found in the pages of anthologies from Moonstone Books, Meteor House (THE WORLDS OF PHILIP JOS脡 FARMER), Black Coat Press (TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN), and Titan Books (TALES OF THE WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE).

An accomplished essayist, Eckert contributed a new foreword the 2006 edition of Farmer鈥檚 well-known fictional biography, TARZAN ALIVE: A DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF LORD GREYSTOKE (University of Nebraska/Bison Books), as well as several forewords and afterwords to Titan Books鈥� reissues of Farmer鈥檚 novels. As Executive Editor for Meteor House, he played a key role in reissuing definitive editions of Farmer鈥檚 fictional biography DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE (2013), and Farmer鈥檚 authorized Burroughs novel, TARZAN AND THE DARK HEART OF TIME (2018).

Eckert is the authorized legacy author of Farmer's Patricia Wildman series (THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE, THE SCARLET JAGUAR). His latest releases are an authorized Avenger book from Moonstone, HUNT THE AVENGER (2019); an authorized novel in the new Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe, TARZAN: BATTLE FOR PELLUCIDAR (2020); and, as coauthor with Farmer, the fourth novel in Farmer's Secrets of the Nine series, THE MONSTER ON HOLD (2021), furthering the titanic saga of Doc Caliban's battle against the dark manipulators who hold the secret to eternal life, the Nine. His Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe novel KORAK AT THE EARTH'S CORE is forthcoming in April 2024.

Win鈥檚 Quotes

“Imagination is like a muscle. I found out that the more I wrote, the bigger it got.”
― Philip Jos茅 Farmer

tags: imagination, writing

“These people who expect to be saints in heaven, though they were not on Earth, have ignored the wisdom of the founders of the great religions. This wisdom is that the kingdom of heaven is within you and that you do not go to heaven unless you are already in it. The magic must be wrought by you and you alone. God has no fairy wand to tap the pig and turn it into a swan.

People ignore this. And those who believe in sinners burning in hell are, perhaps, not so much concerned with going to heaven as with being sure that sinners-鈥搊thers-鈥搑oast forever in the flames.”

“No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature.”
