From the desert southwest, Erin spent childhood summers along the banks of Piney Creek where she fell in love with Sheridan County. An award-winning science teacher, avid archer, and hack watercolorist, she was made for the outdoors. Erin and her family divide their time between WY, WA, and AZ because life is too short to play favorites. The Sheriff's Wife is a prequel to The Sheridan County Mysteries. Book one in the series, The New Teacher, releases in Fall of 2022.
