My name is Erika, and I’m a self-published author and digital artist. I’ve wanted to create my own fantasy world ever since I read my first book as a child. Throughout my life, I kept coming back to writing, but I always gave up, thinking, Who am I to write a book? 

But the more I read, the more impossible it became to ignore an idea that had stayed in my mind for years. I shaped Silent Iverie with all the elements I’m drawn to as a reader: an intricate magic system, high stakes, and a true slow-burn romance that’s hard to come by. 

Creativity has always been a huge part of my life, so digital drawing naturally became another passion of mine. I pour my heart and soul into my coloring books — every page is fully hand-drawn, because I believe real, original art matters now more than ever. 

And because I’m absolutely petrified that people who know me might read my books, I publish everything under two pen names.
