About the Author

G. Eric Kuskey is an author, producer, and entrepreneur whose work explores the intersection of history, ambition, human relationships, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. Kuskey worked intimately with Thomas Kinkade and his company for over fourteen years and remained friends with him until his death in 2012, at which time he started writing Billion Dollar Painter. The book was quickly optioned for film following its release. In addition to his writing, Kuskey has built a career working with leading consumer brands, celebrities, and artists on strategic partnerships and creative ventures. Kuskey’s second book Moss Landing, marks his expansion into fiction, where he brings a cinematic, character-driven approach to a generational story of love, loss, and consequence set on the Central Coast of California.
