About erika kathryn

ERIKA KATHRYN is a published Author and Award-Winning Screenwriter. Her grandparents were super Swedish, so she infuses the unique Swedish culture and folklore into many of her stories. While she went to East Carolina University to study Serial Killers and Interned as a U.S. Marshal, she fell in love with Writing there. So naturally, when she graduated, she pursued… Marketing.
