Authors/Illustrators A-Z
Author : Erica Blaney
When Erica was at school she entered every available writing competition and
always came either second or third, which she found most frustrating! Later,
one of her stories was shortlisted for the Real Writers Award 2003 and
another was published in the an online science fiction site called Aphelion.
She is a compulsive reader - anything from Chicken Licken to Chick Lit, and
takes a keen interest in ethical issues: global warming, permaculture,
cloning, genetic engineering, all of which spill over into her writing,
though she hates to preach, simply provoke questions from her readers. Erica
also sings Mezzo Soprano in her local choral society and interesting lived
on a houseboat for many years with her family. She is relieved now to be
living on dry land! The wonderful Cybernation is her first published novel.
