Erin Kaye
Erin Kaye was born and grew up in in Larne, Northern Ireland in 1966 but moved to Scotland in 1988, where she now lives. The daughter of an Anglo-Irish mother and a Polish-American father, she was one of five siblings growing up during The Troubles in Ulster. Her best-selling novels are all set in Ballyfergus, loosely based on Larne. They have been compared to Cathy Kelly and Maeve Binchy and described as "way beyond the realms of chick-lit". Erin loves her dog, Murphy, redbush tea and shoes.
