Award winning author Erin Grady (aka Erin Quinn) happily accepts the title of “bookworm” — she’s been one since she first discovered Dr. Seuss at age four. As a young adult, Grady lived on a steady diet of diverse fiction, ranging from literary to romance to horror. Grady’s tastes still run the gamut of genres and this is apparent in her own books. Now, with her exciting new series set in Ireland, Grady will be writing under the pen name Erin Quinn. Visit her at www.erinquinnbooks.com for more more information on books and for fun contests and give aways.

Her latest novel, HAUNTING BEAUTY, will be released in August 2009.  New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon calls HAUNTING BEAUTY ""A complex, mysterious and very satisfying story!" Kathryne Kennedy, author of The Relics of Merlin series says HAUNTING BEAUTY is  "A dark and passionate romance with the literary brilliance of The Time Traveler's Wife."  And Calista Fox, author of Object of Desire says, "Erin Quinn weaves a mystical tale of intrigue and seduction... The imagery is breathtaking and the prose is beautiful and authentic. Quinn is a contemporary storyteller, but possesses the unique ability to meld the past with the present in such a fluid way that it makes you live the story, not just read it."  To read an excerpt of HAUNTING BEAUTY and for contest and give-away information, visit wwwerinquinnbooks.com

Erin's books have won the WILLA award for historical fiction, the Orange Rose for Romantic Suspense and the Stella Cameron Pacific Northwest Literary Award for Best Romance. See Romantic Times BOOKclub gave WHISPERS 4 ½ stars and said "Grady is an author to watch!" Romance Junkies gave WHISPERS a perfect score and says, "WHISPERS is an awesome thriller with a mix of paranormal, treachery, curses from the past and a passion bright enough to light the Milky Way."

All About Romance said about ECHOES: "Wow, right out of the blue and just when you least it expect it, a knock-out novel of romantic suspense. From the first page to the last, author Erin Grady deftly juggles two intertwining stories, one taking place in the present day and another more than 150 years earlier, delivering nothing less than a fascinating read.... Berkley should score big with this author - she's the real deal. In fact, ECHOES is so far above the general run of romantic suspense, that I unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.”

Grady and her alias Quinn live in Arizona with her husband and daughters and loves talking to readers. For more information on books by Erin Grady or Erin Quinn, email her at write2erinquinn@aol.com [close]
