Erin Beaty was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, which means she can't drive a tractor but won't eat veggies that come from a can.

She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2000 with a BS in Aerospace Engineering (Astronautics) and German, then served in the fleet as a weapons officer on a combat destroyer and later as an instructor the Center for Naval Leadership.

After a few years as a stay-at-home mother and navy wife with a casual family blog, Erin upped her game and started writing her first novel in the spring of 2014. She is now the author of the Traitor's Circle Trilogy and the Blood and Moonlight duology published by Macmillan and in several foreign languages.

​

She and her husband have five children, two cats, and a vegetable garden and live wherever the navy tells them to go, which has ranged everywhere from Korea to Kansas.

 

Erin teaches classes for The Muse Writers Center in Norfolk and the Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP) and has also served on the advisory board of Hampton Roads Writers.
