Erin Baldwin is a 27-year-old travel nurse who was born in the Philippines and grew up in Jersey City, NJ. She attended Rutgers University New Brunswick where she majored in Nursing and minored in English and Creative Writing. From the moment she opened her first novel (Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix), she has been an avid reader and writer. Though she grew up in the fantasy worlds of Tamora Pierce, Diana Wynne Jones, and Gail Carson Levine, these days she’s much more interested in finding the magic and whimsy that her weirdo characters can create in everyday life.
