Biography

Sherri Browning Erwin was born on October 8, 1968, in Holyoke, Massachusetts. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1990 with a B.A. in English literature. In 1999, her first book, The Scoundrel's Vow, was published by Dell Books. She currently lives in Connecticut with her husband and two children.

In 2010, she released Jane Slayre, a mash-up parody of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre which added vampires, werewolves, and other such supernatural elements to the original story. The book was released during the literary mash-up trend started by Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Jane Slayre received a follow-up, Grave Expectations, a year later.

Erwin and authors Kathleen Givens and Julia London in 2004 founded the Whine Sisters, which was among the first group blogs alongside Squawk Radio.
