Erica Spindler
Catching a summer cold changed Erica Spindler’s life forever.
Up until that fateful malady, Erica planned on being an artist. She had studied for that profession, earning both a BFA and MFA in the visual arts. Then in June of 1982, she stopped at a local drugstore to pick up cold tablets and tissues; the cashier dropped a free novel into her bag. Once home, with nothing to do but sniffle and watch daytime TV, she picked up the novel and sometime during the next few months, she decided to try to write one herself.
The moment she put pen to paper, Erica knew she had found her true calling. Since that day, Erica has published more than twenty novels. Her titles have been published all over the world and critics have dubbed her stories as “thrill-packed, page turners, white knuckle rides, and edge-of-your-seat whodunits”.
The author of fast-paced, shocking thrillers, Erica Spindler’s writing is reminiscent of Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs at their best. She is a USA Today, New York Times and Amazon.com bestseller.
In 2002, her novel Bone Cold won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence.
Erica and her husband met in art school and have been together ever since. They have two sons, born nine and a half years apart. Erica makes her home in the New Orleans area, although she originally hailed from Illinois.
