The Author
Bio
Erica lives in the Philadelphia region with her large family. She relies on copious amounts of coffee and the grace of God to keep up with her busy offspring while working full-time and pursuing her hobbies.
A numbers gal working in the accounting department, Erica fills every free moment with reading and creative writing. The Oystercatcher of Southwark is her debut novel. You can find stories of humor and hope on her blog, The Chronicles of Erica, found on the Short Stories page of this site.
Erica loves to knit, walk in the woods, kayak on the lake, and listen to her children say "Mom, Mom!" all day long.

Life
Erica is a voracious reader, mostly of historical fiction. Her favorite books include anything written by Diana Gabaldon. She adores Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre and considers it one of the best novels ever written. She is a big fan of authors Kim Duffy, Kristy Cambron, Ariel Lawhon, Rhonda Ortiz, and Elizabeth Kostova. She also enjoys the thought-provoking dystopian novels of Ray Bradbury and Margaret Atwood.
Hobbies
Erica loves to take long walks — in the woods or along a river — and to kayak on the lake. She knits a few dozen blankets, hats & scarves per year. The knitting keeps her sane. Barely.
