About the author
Erica Whelton lives in Texas with her husband and a house full of crazy pets. She has three grown children plus three beautiful grandsons. They are all the light of her life.
Her love of books, words, and all things reading started at a young age for two reasons. One being the number of hours she'd spend in the library. Her mother made sure she and her brothers always had books.
The second reason was as a child, she had trouble sleeping. Her parents told her to think of nice things before bed, to tell herself stories. They pointed to her posters of sweet animals on her bedroom walls and told her to think of stories involving the animals. She still uses this technique even today when she struggles to shut her brain off.
She also enjoys the process of making tea, animals, the color pink, and basically anything awesome.
