Based in the Pacific Northwest, Erin Carrougher is a speculative fiction author whose debut novel, Augland, is set in Seattle's not too distant future. While her day-to-day work is all business, she enjoys fantasizing about dystopian worlds in her free time.

When not writing on her comfy couch next to her dog, Griffen, Erin loves cooking, reading, binge-watching reality television shows, and enjoying the outdoors. She's a proud auntie of Annabelle and Wyatt, her two favorites until more come along. While not an avid sports fan, she does fancy watching the Seahawks dominate with her husband, Joe, friends, and family.
