About Erin Shanks
Hi, I'm a children's author from Northern Ireland, and I've loved stories ever since I could read. There's something so magical about disappearing into another world through a book.
When I'm not writing I work in healthcare, and spend a lot of time with my family. I'm a mummy, a wife and I have the most loveable golden retriever called Cooper, who is often nearby when I'm writing.
My first children's book is out now, which still feels incredibly special to say. Writing has allowed me to turn a lifelong love of storytelling into something I can share with young readers. I hope my stories encourage children to hold onto their imaginations, believe in a little bit of magic, and most importantly, enjoy getting lost in a good book.
