"As a child I spent most of my days and nights writing poetry, short stories. At 13 I was inspired to write what would be classed in the industry as a novella, after discovering one of my all time favourite authors, Danielle Steel. Back then I would dream becoming a published author. Somethings never change! "
A love for writing began to show in Erin Cawood at the tender age of 5 years old and now at 28 Erin is at the beginning of a career in writing.
Three years ago Erin began writing "The Pink Ribbon Collection". The series follows the events that take place in a fictional town in Yorkshire called Bridgewater where five best friends walk through some of life's most enduring tests.
Erin lives in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK
Its been eleven and a half years since I met wildlife and landscape photo-journalist Paul Miguel.
On the days when I spend 20+ hours caught up in 'fiction world' Paul provides me with food, he makes me cups of tea and he reminds me to take breaks.
I think Paul's most spoken phrase in our office is "will you please play something else?" He's not a fan of my music... or my repeatitive playing of the same track.
Paul's bought me some very special presents. An Arsenal bear and a teddy bear wearing a t-shirt with a picture he took in Mexico. But the most treasured of them all is the Parker pen he bought for christmas 2 years ago. It's engraved with my psuedonym "Erin Cawood"
A little bit more about me...
If you haven't figured it out yet my favourite colour is Purple
One of my life quotes is "Life is very unpredictable...there are very few consistances within it.... however, me and my love of all things purple will last forever"
I'm fascinated by all things web based - I love tweaking with my website and learning how to use new functions for it. I'm also a bit of a social networking fiend. I'm on twitter, facebook, linked in, goodreads, I have a blog at blogspot and I 'stumbeupon' too!
Its difficult to put me in a box - I'm a bit of a computer geek, but I'm not. I'm a bit of a book worm but I'm not. I'm a bit of a shy, quiet person and yet I believe you can achieve anything you put your mind to and therefore I'm self confident, if I have something to say then I'll make my voice heard.
