"Equal parts Anthony Bourdain and Quentin Tarantino, Price's chaotic journey navigating an uncivil China (and his own heart of darkness) is a combustible mix of humor, raw vulnerability, and jaw-dropping "holy f***, did that just happen?"
—Wayne Price, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker.

"What sets Thank God for the Sinners apart is its unfiltered honesty. It challenges the reader to confront uncomfortable truths while also offering glimpses of redemption and hope. Eric Magun writes with a voice that is as bold as it is vulnerable, creating a narrative that resonates long after the final page."
—Jerry Gladstone, best-selling author of The Common Thread.


Thank God for the Sinners follows Rick Price, a tortured soul, as he tries to balance his high stakes career, while keeping secret his role as a clandestine double agent. When a Chinese prostitute dies during an unsavory sex act in his hotel room, Rick is thrust into a frantic scramble to protect his innocence and save his life.


Ricks story unravels through a series of gratuitous flashbacks, revealing the harrowing details of his sick and twisted childhood. The damage of his past lingers, tormenting him as he spirals through a relentless cycle of violence, perversion, and bad judgement. The trauma continues as we follow Rick through his madness battling his obsession with anger, addiction, punk rock, and exotic debauchery.


Thank God for the Sinners is a precautionary tale featuring an unlikely hero trapped in a surreal world where the lines between madness and reality are blurred. Could Rick's "sinful" tendencies be the result of his childhood abuse, reckless choices, or the relentless pressure of being manipulated as a deep state operative? Is it the everyday stress of the job that is driving him mad or was he destined to be a sinner from the start?

Eric, an accomplished filmmaker, has earned numerous awards for his independent feature film, Toast with the Gods, a surreal reimagining of Homer's The Odyssey. In addition to his filmmaking success, he is the author of several screenplays, short stories, and a collection of poetry. With three decades of experience as an international business executive, Eric has spent a much of his career in China and Southeast Asia. When in the U.S., he divides his time between living on both coasts. Thank God For The Sinners, marks his debut novel in fiction.
