Erynn Newman is a pastor's kid, raised in churches all over the Eastern Seaboard. She writes heart gripping romance with a dash of seat gripping suspense. Though she has never worked with the CIA, her DVR contains a veritable Who's Who of international spies.

She lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with her best friend (who is also her husband), a very busy little boy, three cats, and a ceaseless parade of characters who are all waiting for their turn to have their stories told.
