Erin was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. She “read” her first book at four months, according to family legend, and it’s been impossible to pry her away from a good book since. After she exhausted her local library’s shelves of everything young adult and fantasy, she started writing her own novels. Years and writing workshops later, she graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.A. in English and Creative Writing. She is a self-proclaimed nerd who loves to ski and is determined to make the perfect gluten-free cookie. Erin lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and cat.
