As a romance author, Erin likes to think that the first seed for her career was planted in 7th grade when she shipped Mulder and Scully and learned the power of the will-they-won't-they... That love blossomed in her teen years during the golden age of romcoms, when she was ostensibly co-parented by Nora Ephron, Nancy Myers, and the entire cast of FRIENDS.

​She writes because she loves it, but also because she wants to be a source of joy, humor, and hope during these dark times. She wants people to see their most human moments mirrored in their art and media and hopefully find catharsis through the characters they grow to love. With her latest project, Drama Queen, she hopes to hammer home a personal belief of hers: that it’s never too late to chase a dream. 
​
While Erin independently published her novel, Have Baggage, Will Travel in 2020 to great acclaim, she's currently seeking representation and a traditional publishing route for Drama Queen. 

Erin lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband and their dog Lulu. When she's not reading or writing, you can catch her traveling, spending time in nature, or having a one-person Taylor Swift dance party.

NOW QUERYING

Rebecca Bradley is finally doing what she should’ve done ten years ago—chasing her dreams. After a brutal breakup leaves her untethered, she trades the wreckage of her old life for a spot on her best friend’s West Village couch and a shot at becoming the playwright she once hoped to be. With a deadline for a major theater festival looming, she’s ready to put heartbreak behind her and make New York City the stage for her second act.

What she’s not ready for? Miles Thompson—the perpetually scowling, jazz-obsessed barista at her favorite coffee shop, who seems to dislike Becca almost as much as he dislikes small talk. But when a twist of fate lands her a job alongside him, their reluctant partnership quickly gives way to a slow-burn rivalry, laced with barbed wit and crackling chemistry.

From subway races and Times Square scavenger hunts to moody jazz cafes in the village, Becca finds herself drawn not just to Miles—but to the version of herself that only this city, and this unexpected connection, could have revealed.

Now, with everything riding on her creative comeback, she must decide: is she writing a play… or living the kind of love story she never thought was possible?
