About this author

Erin has spent most of her life telling stories. It is rumored that her first words were not "mama" or "dada," but "once upon a time." In middle school, when kids were going off to sleep-away camp for the summer, Erin was attending writing camp and penning short stories.

When not writing, Erin enjoys hiking, giggling, and staring at the stars. She drinks a lot of coffee, buys far too many books and is not terribly skilled at writing about herself in the third person.

Erin is represented by Sara Crowe of Harvey Klinger. Her debut novel, TAKEN will be published by HarperTeen (Winter 2013).

add to my books
Arthur Miller's DEATH OF A SALESMAN is a classic that I never read in high school, so after my husband recently reread it, I snatched it up. I both loved and despised this play. In many ways it is masterful. Even decades later, the themes of Miller's...more

Another Throne of Glass novella by Sarah J. Maas, and once again, I loved it. Celaena's motives in this installment stem from the very fist novella–the cruel injustice of slavery. When Adarlan tasks her with eliminating a pro-slavery figure, her miss...more

I don't read a lot of paranormal romance, but I heard so many good things about this novel that I finally picked it up. And I loved it.

Even though this novel centers around angels (both good and fallen), this novel was somehow very rooted in reality....more

After DIVERGENT’s pulse-pounding ending, I was anxious to see where Roth would take things in INSURGENT. For most of the novel, Tris and Four seem to bounce around Chicago, crossing paths with other factions, and even the factionless. This lets us ge...more
