About the Author

Erica Damerau grew up in a very creative and loving family life setting. Her grandmother was a writer as well, and Erica always used to listen to her tell her passages from her books, which is what started her love for writing. Erica’s mom loved to paint and over time Erica also grew to love painting. Now her dad, he was a metallurgist and he invented a new metal and, in time, published a book of his own.

Erica has always loved to be creative in many ways, such as writing, painting, drawing, and playing videogames but aside from all of that, as hard times come, she has always had such a soft spot for helping others in need as well as helping animals. Her family molded her into the person she has become today and when her father passed away in 2022, she knew it was time to prove that she could be the best she could—and just like they knew she could be.
