Erin’s ya fantasy, The Blinder, is set to be released in early 2026, from CamCat Books
Since you’re here, there are some things you should know.
Erin read once that, “When there are voices in your head, it’s inevitable you become either a serial killer or a writer.” Being a little squeamish in real life, she kills people on the page, instead.
Someday, she would like to write a “cozy fantasy,” but her characters keep stabbing each other.
She attended Drake University, majoring in things not strictly writing-related but still useful.
A life-long Midwesterner, she and her husband live in Iowa where they raise feral children and
well-mannered cats.
The Blinder is her debut novel.
