Erica Morrison de Roos (nee Theall) was born and raised in White Plains, New York.

She graduated with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Although diagnosed with Dyslexia, she never let the fact that she couldn't spell hold her imagination back.

She wanted to be a writer since she could remember and had received the Texaco poetry award when only in the sixth grade.

She has been an editor on two literary magazines and has appeared in Roger Williams' Aldebaran.

She currently lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and their son where she enjoys skiing, Lindy-Hop Swing dancing and writing as much as being a stay at home mother will allow.
