Eric T. Hansen (born July 3, 1960) is a bilingual American writer known in Germany for his humorous non-fiction, critical satire and novels.

He then returned to Germany to study at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, where he earned a Masters in the literature of the German Middle Ages in 1989.

Hansen’s books tend to combine journalistic research with political analysis and humor or even sarcasm and gravitate toward themes that question popular German attitudes.

[4] In 2015 Hansen launched the small publishing house Hula Ink, specializing in literary fiction and non-fiction.

In 2017, Hula Ink published its first print edition, Hansen's autobiographical book about Mormonism and spirituality, "Losing My Religion."
