ReGina Welling prefers not to talk about herself in the third person so... I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed media artwork when I get the chance. When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized I'd learned to read. Since then I couldn't even estimate the number of books I've read. It's a lot! **October featured author in the Cozy Mystery Book Club.

I'm Erin Lynn, and I'm a fiction author from no-place-you've-ever-heard-of, Maine. I inherited the trait of expressing myself most effectively via the written word from my mother, who is ReGina Welling, author of the "Psychic Seasons" and "Earthbound" series of novels. She's also the co-author of the "Ponderosa Pines" mysteries, the "Fate Weaver" series, the "Elder Witch" mysteries, and the "Haunted Everly After" mysteries. I enjoy reading, drinking coffee, bird-watching, and procrastinating. My life is made complete by my two hilarious teenage sons, my adorable chocolate lab, and three mischievous kitties. Follow me for unputdownable, romantic, sometimes paranormal, always cozy mysteries.
