About Erica J Whelton…

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a teacher or a scientist, but books were my first love. I spent countless hours in libraries, surrounded by towering stacks, lost in other worlds.

I also struggled with sleep, and my parents gave me advice that would change my life: tell yourself happy stories. So I did. I’d weave myself into my favorite books or create wild adventures of my own. That’s when I fell in love with storytelling.

Over the years, I started and abandoned more projects than I can count (I still have all those notes saved, by the way). But in October 2016, something clicked. I finally finished my first complete book: Mandy’s Story.

Now I write across multiple genres, fueled by curiosity, caffeine, and a ridiculous number of pets.

I also enjoy the process of making tea, animals, the color pink, and basically anything awesome.

Thank you for being here and supporting my dream.
