A New York Times and International Chart bestselling author, Erica Spindler’s skill for crafting engrossing plots and compelling characters has earned both critical praise and legions of fans. Published across the globe, her stories have been lauded as “thrill-packed page turners, white-knuckle rides” and “edge-of-your-seat whodunits.” Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Erica planned on being a visual artist, earning a BFA from Delta State University and an MFA from the University of New Orleans. She made the leap to novelist via a summer cold and a free romance novel dropped into her shopping bag. A reading frenzy ensued, one that became a writing frenzy. Forty novels and a leap from romance to suspense later, she’s still thankful for the summer cold that changed her life.

For her third act, Erica has turned her creative energy to adapting her novels for TV and film. The pitch package for RED is currently circulating and work on SHOCKING PINK has begun.

Erica lives outside atmospheric New Orleans, a city featured in many of her novels, with her adman husband and the constant companionship of Molly, the dynamic doodle.
