Author Bio
Erin studied literature and history at University of California, Santa Cruz, earned a teaching credential at California State University, Chico, and taught high school English for seven years before completing her MFA in Creative Writing at St. Mary’s College of California in 2010. A recipient of the 2008 Jim Townsend Scholarship for Excellence in Creative Writing and the 2009 Leonard Michaels Scholarship for Literary Excellence, Erin has taught Composition at St. Mary’s College of California and Butte College.
Erin loved writing from the moment she learned how—cutting her teeth on sock puppet plays, poems, and short stories written from the point of view of her horse. Now she prefers to focus on writing historical fiction—a perfect outlet for a former diarist and pen pal letter writer.
A California native, Erin lives in the Sierra Foothills with her husband, son, and a small menagerie that includes one dog, four cats, two horses, ten chickens, and three goats. (From the author's website.)
