Erica's love of books and writing has been longstanding but complex. It’s something she has kept coming back to, studying a short course here and there amongst a busy life of work, study and raising a family. It wasn’t until her dad, a technical writer, left this world prematurely that she made a commitment to write a novel. Publishing short fiction with the Monash Writer’s Group and getting a 3rd place prize and high commendation for two stories (at WordFest) helped with the momentum for the full-length work.
She's currently working on multiple projects, including a middle-grade children’s fiction series (Teleporting Twins) and an anthology of my own short fiction. Erica values kindness, creativity and diversity. Her interests outside of writing, reading, watching and listening to stories include cooking, spending time with family, travel, experiencing new cultures, flavours and ways of thinking, as well as running, yoga, mindfulness, fitness and learning new things. She lives in Melbourne with her husband, kids and Foxy the cat.
