Erica Taylor was born in the ‘thumb’ of Michigan. She began writing as a child, swapping handwritten stories with her twin sister after school. She currently lives in Goodrich, Michigan with her husband and her great dane, Odin. She works as an engineer while she completes her first novel.

Erica grew up reading whatever fantasy or science fiction novels she could get her hands on, playing story-focused video games, and recreating the most dramatic scenes from each with her siblings and friends in their spacious, treed yard. When she was older, she discovered tabletop roleplaying games and found the TTRPG medium to be an interesting new way to tell stories. She plays an ongoing Dungeons & Dragons campaign with her friends and enjoys finding new games to add to her and her husband’s growing hoard.

Like her favorite books and games, her stories include magical settings, quests, reluctant heroes, found family, and love. Her penchant for a slow burn shines in her writing and is an almost constant component of her tales.
