Sherri Browning Erwin (born October 8, 1968) is an American novelist, best known for literary mash-ups, paranormal romance, and historical romance.

Biography

[edit]

Sherri Browning Erwin was born on October 8, 1968, in Holyoke, Massachusetts. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1990 with a B.A. in English literature.[1][2] In 1999, her first book, The Scoundrel's Vow, was published by Dell Books. She currently lives in Connecticut with her husband and two children.[3]

In 2010, she released Jane Slayre, a mash-up parody of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre which added vampires, werewolves, and other such supernatural elements to the original story. The book was released during the literary mash-up trend started by Seth Grahame-Smith's hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and was cited by reviewers as a positive example of the trend.[4][5] Jane Slayre was generally well-received, and received a follow-up, Grave Expectations, a year later.[6]

In 2014, she began the Thornbrook Park series, a historical romance trilogy set in the post-Edwardian era. The final novel in the series, The Great Estate, was released in July 2015.[7]
