Interview with Erika Wilburn

Published 2015-02-09.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I spent most of my childhood in Bothell, WA. My mother was my strongest insfluence. When I was about 14 she bought me a journal to write all my poems and songs in. I did not relize at the time that the journal would ever be useful but when I decided to start writing books I had all this infomation already written and it made starting to write a lot easier.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing poems and songs at about 14 years old.
What's the story behind your latest book?
The latest book is a true story about adoption. I wanted to write this to help others in my situation make a good decision for the baby and not what others think they should do.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I write in hopes of helping other people.
What do your fans mean to you?
Without fans I would not be writer. They are everything to me.
What are you working on next?
I have a lot of request to do more personal financial books. At the same time I would like to try my hand at a true crime book.
I guess we will have to wait and see which one comes first.
Who are your favorite authors?
I like a lot of different authors depending on the topic of the book. My top two are probably Ann Rule &
Dave Pelzer
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Budgeting! I spend most of my time helping people with personal finances in hopes that we can become a debt free society.
How do you approach cover design?
This is the hardest part for me. I need a cover designer because it is just not me
Describe your desk
I am an organized mess. I know where everything is, it just looks messy to other people.
