I’m Erika Harken

My first memory of writing comes from elementary school, where I was given a small (but very exciting!) blank book to fill as an assignment.
In the years since, I’ve written all kinds of stories from middle school to college, and in 2022, I decided to finally become a self-published author. I keep my inspiration fresh by writing about flawed and courageous characters across several genres, but different types of stories easily come to me through pieces of my own life experience or other stories I enjoy.
I live in Michigan and stay busy with a day job, which means you can normally catch me writing in the evening, making dinner with my guy and playing with my adorable girl, Zara!
Some of my favorite things are campfires, movie nights, and looking at dreamy coastal homes online.
Note: Because of email spam, please message me on Instagram.
Zara, my Siamese pal.
It’s a good thing I took the chance and drove two hours to pick up a free cat that needed a new home! She’s the sweetest and best love-bug <3
