About Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, it’s just God when he’s drunk. – Tom Waits My name is Dan Steven Erickson and I’m a creator. I write songs, compose music, write poetry, and books. I love to share what I do and inspire others to become creators, too. I’m also looking for people who might be interested in using my work to reach mass audiences. I live in Southern Maine and teach communication courses at Southern Maine Community College. I have two daughters, Annie and Angel. I’m working into semi-retirement and hope to do more photography as I have more time. Highlights: Wrote the book A Train Called Forgiveness about my abusive childhood experience in an extremist cult. Hours of experimental electronic music composed as Anderhill. More than 1000 songs written. Hundreds of poems written. Several books published.
