Maha Erwin

Biography

Maha is a proud American, Erwin is a flying Dutchman. We hooked-up during an overland safari across the heart of Africa. When the tour ended, we got hitched. Disillusioned with careers in finance and science, we sold our two homes and started to travel again. Five years later, we’re still possessed by an unrelenting wanderlust, lugging around our huuuuge suitcases wherever we go. Cape Town. Rome. San Francisco. Ubud.

We’re not ones for bummin’ it. We live large. Kinda. Our Airbnb homes overlook outrageously scenic landscapes. Weekdays, we swim along pebble beaches. Weeknights, we enjoy cultural events and festivities. Weekends, we climb active volcanoes. But, recall, we’re not lazy butts. We wake up early and sleep late, typing loooots of words per day. Writing fiction gives us purpose. This summer, to celebrate the release of our debut novel, “Intomesee: In Pursuit of a Passionate Life”, Erwin grew a Hemmingway beard. Maha hopes his scruffy look is just a phase, not an excuse to justify his shameless drinking habit. Erwin hopes Maha unscrews the rusted bolts in her head, or else his scifi thriller, “Humanity Rebooted,” will never be published by the end of next year.

Smashwords Interview

Who did you met?
In 2010, we independently signed up for an overland tour of Africa. Born travelers possessed by unrelenting wanderlust, we fell in love almost immediately. On the last day of our two-month safari from Cape Town to Nairobi, Maha took the plunge, moving overseas to Holland. Within a few short months, Erwin proposed in Italy. Before the year ended, we wed in the city where we first met.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Friends, and strangers alike, encouraged us to write a romantic comedy about our “cute meet.” A couple years later, we dreamed up a quirky, romanticized version of our coming together, immersing ourselves into the magical world of fiction. Producers and directors at the 2013 American Film Market raved about our indie film script. Regardless, their words of warning – “without attaching a bestselling novel, financing a film is nearly impossible” demoralized us. Eventually in 2014, we accepted the challenge to expand our tale, transitioning from aspiring filmmakers to novelists. By 2016, the page count of our chick lit series exploded seven-fold from the original 120-page screenplay.
