Erica Ridley learned to read when she was three, which was about the same time she decided to be a writer when she grew up. Today, Erica is a USA Today best-selling author of historical romance novels. Her newest Regency series, The Dukes of War, features strong, lovable heroines and the men they drive crazy.

When not reading or writing romances, Erica can be found riding camels in Africa, zip-lining through rainforests in Costa Rica, or getting hopelessly lost in the middle of Budapest.
