edit data

From a small, Kentucky town, Erika has a deep fondness for the South. Its culture and people aren't like any other and this has inspired many of her stories.

You live in another world where you can influence the outcome, you fall in love with so many people, and you get to share that world with others who are happy to live in it with you. It's magic, really. (less)

My life has taken on many different aspects and the inspiration for this story came about in many ways. I have al
