Erin MacKay was born in Mobile, Alabama, and was raised all over the Southeastern United States. She graduated from Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia; she later earned a Master's degree in linguistics from the University of Georgia.
As a child, Erin was a voracious reader of anything within reach, to the detriment of her schoolwork and social life. She began writing her own stories at an early age, most of which, mercifully, have disappeared.
Erin has just moved from Atlanta to North Carolina where she lives with her husband and two dogs. Her interests include history, linguistics, anime, travel, football, gourmet beer, and ... more gourmet beer.
Prayers of the Living will be included this fall in Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet, from Dark Scribe Press.
