Erin Sterling

Erin Sterling is the pseudonym of Rachel Hawkins. Born in Virginia and raised in Alabama, Rachel Hawkins has been writing since kindergarten, when her first book, a tense thriller involving a unicorn, a witch and a princess, was called "very imaginative" by her teacher and "a remarkable work of genius" by her mother. Since then, Rachel has written more than a dozen books for children and adults (unfortunately all without unicorns so far) and has been published in more than twenty countries. When she's not writing modern gothic thrillers like Rachel Hawkins, she also writes paranormal romantic comedies under the name Erin Sterling. Her debut novel, "The Curse of the Ex", was chosen as Book of the Month, as well as a bestseller in The New York Times and USA Today. She currently lives in Auburn, Alabama, with her husband, son and five cats. (Yes, five. She knows.). In his spare time, he enjoys reading, cooking, and choosing a variety of creative hobbies that he will give up after a week or two.
