It's been a journey to get to this point and when I'm not putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard as it were) I spend my time being a Mom, a Wife, a Daughter, a Friend. I don't drink booze often and I was vegan for a while.
I'm a fan of the Tour de France, of witty sitcoms, embroidery, and baked goods. I don't love olives.
No, no one uses my middle name except for me in all my online presences.
That pretty much sums it up.
That I'm a Romance Author.
It feels really good to say...
Erin Marie Bassett is a geriatric millennial, wife and mother of two living in Chicago. (A mile west of Wrigley Field but she, like her husband and kids, are St. Louis Cardinal Fans). When she’s not reading or writing romance, Erin helps small businesses and local organizations use the magic words to connect with their communities. She volunteers hard at her kids school and she believes in the power of S.L.O.W. Living.
Her doctor tells her not to but she drinks a lot of coffee. Like, a lot.
