Erin Phillips tries to fill every second with stories, whether it’s an audiobook while cleaning, a movie with her hubs, or just snuggling up with a good book.

An award-nominated author who has published 5 novels—most notably her Biblical retellings A Bond of Briars and A Crown of Chains—she writes “dark stories that shine the 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.” Not just any light in the darkness—The Light of the world, one that consumes darkness completely.

She graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts with a B.F.A. in Costume Design & Technology, and lives in North Carolina with her husband, Jeremy, and their happy corgis, Parker and Fable.
