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.
Erin is slowly bowing out of the fiction biz and now writes for her own enjoyment (and that of a small but delightfully devoted following) under a completely different pseudonym. She is, however, enjoying a growing roster of editing clients. If you need help editing copy (non-native speakers of English welcome) or a light critique of your work, feel free to contact her by e-mail.
