​Most kids ask Santa for dolls or toys. Erika asked for a typewriter. At eight years old. Her parents probably wondered what kind of child skips Barbie and Legos for clunky keys and ink ribbons—but that Christmas morning, an “Olivetti Letter 35” landed under the tree, and Erika’s love affair with storytelling officially began.Her first short story was typed out on that machine (the plot is lost to time, and probably for the best). While technology eventually caught up and she traded typewriter ribbons for keyboards, that vintage Olivetti will always be her first writing partner.
Born in 1979 in Valdobbiadene, Italy—a small town best known for Prosecco—Erika quickly realized she wanted more than quiet village life. At eighteen, she left for Padua to study Statistics (because why not add some math to the mix?) and eventually wandered across the globe, living in places like Los Angeles, Vancouver, and London. Along the way, she gathered inspiration, stories, and enough travel memories to fill a dozen novels.
These days, Erika channels that same adventurous spirit into her books. Whether she’s crafting swoony romances, magical worlds, or relatable stories about messy, wonderful humans, her mission is simple: to take readers on a journey that entertains, delights, and maybe makes them laugh out loud.
