[Erin]

I'm Erin- an MD/MPH, writer and creator of ZENBands. I live in NYC with my pup, Barnaby, and run bloomingwellness.com
I wrote my first novel Manic Kingdom, based on a true story, which according to Kirkus is "eccentric." Well, according to everyone, to be fair. I wrote it to encourage folks to question systems, especially the current mental health system. It's different and makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but I would love for more people to read it. Thanks for the invite and here is a link to my book on Amazon:

Favorite Book: I read everything from Dragonriders of Pern and Jane Austen to Outlander and biographies. I also read a lot of kidlit, especially middle grade, because that's what I write mostly.

Favorite Time to Read: During the day I'm writing or working as an editor, so lots of reading of that kind. And I always read for an hour or two before bed.

Favorite Food: Sadly, chocolate and sweets

Favorite Drink: Hot tea in the morning. I love Coca-Cola, but it's so bad I try to limit it.

I write about cats, dogs, and dragons--and most recently tigers of a sort. Always happy to discuss those things!!

Welcome new members. Introduce yourself through this gateway. Copy and repost with your details.

Name: Donna Brown

Author/ Reader: Author Lady Brandon's Leap Day Adventure (Regency Romance), Dare to Love Yourself (self-help allegory), and current editing a romance with Wild Rose Press (so darn exciting).

Favourite Book: I have two full shelves of favorites. Mostly self-help, a few fantasy writers, and Harriet The Spy (childhood favorite).

Favourite time to read: I squeeze reading into my life. Mostly at doctor's office or standing in lines. Found audible so listen while I clean house (rarely), during meals (yes, I know that's not good form), and in between clients. Took a bath last week so I could laze in the tub and get some reading in.

Favourite Food: I'm on a Candida cleanse so take a wild guess.

Favourite Drink:" S. Pellegrino Sparkline Natural Mineral Water. Discovered this drink over Thanksgiving holiday and I'm addicted.
