ERIN DOWNING has written more than a dozen novels for adults and young adults. She loves writing funny, contemporary stories filled with sexy men, hilarious friends, and women who can stick up for themselves. When she's not writing, she enjoys drinking wine with friends, watching cheesy romantic dramas on TV, and walking her adorable dog (and kids) around the lakes near her house. Before becoming an author, Erin worked as a book editor, spent a few months as a cookie inventor, and also worked for Nickelodeon. She has lived in England, Sweden, and New York City, and now resides in Minneapolis with her amazing husband, three charming children, and one fluffy dog.
