Erin R. Howard is an award-winning fantasy author and the Acquisitions Editor for Expanse Books, an imprint of Scrivenings Press. A lifelong storyteller, she writes hope-filled fantasy—urban, dystopian, and royal romance—where danger tests the heart and light refuses to fade.

When she’s not building magical worlds, Erin can be found gaming with her husband, watching movies with her kids, or adding to her ever-growing list of craft hobbies. She holds a degree in Creative Writing and is an active member of Realm Makers, RagTag Writers, and Once Upon a Page. Erin lives in Western Kentucky with her husband and three children.

Erin Howard answered Lauren Mitchell's question: I really enjoyed your storytelling style. Are there any upcoming projects or themes you’re excited to explore in your next book? Hi! Thanks so much for the question. The sequel to Beyond the Gates releases in Decemeber, so I'm really excited about that and to see the duology come to a close. My next novel will be a time-travel murder mystery (to the 80s). :)
