The models for Erickson's Milan thrillers are based on Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti series in Venice, Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Salvo Montalbano in Sicily, and Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen series from Rome.

Erickson has access to high-level officials in Milan's DIGOS, anti-terrorism police, at Milan's Questura (police headquarters) who help him with sophisticated surveillance and investigative procedures. On annual travels to Italy, Erickson does research, interviews sources, and samples Italian history, art, and culture. He has studied intensive Italian at La Scuola da Vinci in Rome, Florence, Milan, Torino, and Siena. On frequent visits to Milan, he meets with Italian and American friends, goes to opera at La Scala, and enjoys aperitivo at popular Milanese restaurants and trattoria. Erickson is a former Air Force intelligence officer, U.S. Senate speechwriter, Washington-based editor, and RedBrick Press publisher. In the 1980's and 1990's, he wrote and published five non-fiction books on the early craft brewing industry. His first book, STAR SPANGLED BEER: A GUIDE TO AMERICA'S NEW MICROBREWERIES AND BREWPUBS, was named best self-published book in 1987. Erickson lives in northern California with his wife.
