“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”    ~J.R.R.Tolkien

Hi, I’m Erin!

I am a wife, mother of 8 beautiful children, copy editor, and author. Although I have edited and written books in a number of styles, I am a Tolkien fan through and through, which is why I created this online home for fellow Catholic fantasy and sci-fi enthusiasts. Welcome!

God Made the Moonlight

My book, God Made the Moonlight, is perfect for toddlers learning more about the moon and its Creator through a little girl’s fascinated eyes.
