Erica Miner
Detroit native Erica Miner studied music in Boston and for 21 years was a violinist with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. When injuries from a car accident forced her to give up her musical career, Erica turned to a lifelong love of writing as her creative outlet, penning several prize-winning screenplays and an award-winning debut novel, Travels with My Lovers. Erica’s latest novel FourEver Friends chronicles four teenage girls’ coming-of-age in the volatile 60s. Her suspense thriller, Murder In The Pit, will be published in 2010. Erica’s popular lectures and writing seminars have been presented at various venues across the West Coast and on major cruise lines. Topics range from "The Art of Self Re-Invention" to "Journaling: Mining the Gold of Your Experiences.” Her writings have appeared in Vision Magazine, WORD San Diego and numerous E-zines. http://www.ericaminer.com
