Ah, sweet relaxation! So seldom dost thou visit me!

Eric D. Lehman: I am a travel and history writer, and Director of Creative Writing at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.

My books Bridgeport: Tales From the Park City, Hamden: Tales from the Sleeping Giant, A History of Connecticut Wine, Literary Connecticut, and A History of Connecticut Food are available from The History Press. The Insiders Guide to Connecticut, has been published by the Globe Pequot Press, and Afoot in Connecticut: Journeys in Natural History was published in Spring 2013 by Homebound Publications. My full-length biography, Becoming Tom Thumb: Charles Stratton, P.T. Barnum, and the Dawn of American Celebrity, was published in Fall 2013 by Wesleyan University Press.
