Born in northern California, Erin enjoyed riding horses, reading, and the outdoors growing up. Reading was a wonderful way to quench Erin’s natural wanderlust, since her family didn’t travel much and it allowed her to escape to other places. This eventually led Erin to create stories and worlds of her own, and she found a new passion for writing. At the age of 14, Erin had written four stories, but inspiration struck for one that would carry readers through multiple countries while learning about different legends and cultures. Erin randomly chose six countries and set to work on what would be the first draft of many over the next 22 years. Jenelyn’s Journey, as the series was eventually chosen to be called, was an epic journey indeed, and with the rest of growing up to do, marriage, having kids, and an equestrian career, the book found itself always placed on a back burner, slowly simmering into existence. But when Erin experienced a difficult divorce, she was finally able to fulfil her wanderlust and travelled to Ireland. In Ireland, she felt as if she had finally found her true home, and she knew that the emerald isle was the perfect place to finish Jenelyn’s Journey. After 21 years of sitting idle, Erin was able to breathe new life into the book and set her character off on her journey once more. This time, life didn’t get in the way as much and she was able to finish the first book.

Jenelyn’s Journey encompasses many emotions that young people experience, especially when faced with a difficult challenge and the hope of fulfilling a dream. Erin hopes that readers will enjoy learning about new cultures and their legends, while also drawing useful lessons about dealing with hardship and finding where they belong.
