About

Eri is a bilingual language and linguistics nerd from the midwest USA who was raised on an unconventional combination of secular homeschooling, romance novels, and a relatively tame exchange year (if you know you know). In what turned out to be very good financial foresight, Eri left academia early and hasn't yet returned.

Eri's books have been featured in The New York Times Book Review, The Smut Report, and other publications.


If not writing novels full-time, Eri would be back of house in a restaurant somewhere, dicing veggies to prog, post-punk, and reggaetón.
