Bio
Erin had been working in a large corporation for several years, quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of corporate politics. She found, however, that she could no longer ignore her growing frustration with the vast distance between her work and the consumers she desired to help. She had, after all, acquired a degree in English from Rutgers University and longed to apply her education in a way that could change the lives of people around her. Now, as a writer for ClassAction.org, she is blessed to spend her days interpreting the mysterious secrets of legal writings and empowering her fellow humans with the knowledge they need to fight for their rights.
Erin must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as a great warrior, nor counted amongst the very wise. In fact, it has been remarked by some that her only real passion is for writing poetry – a rather unfair observation, as she has also developed a keen interest in hiking unexplored wilderness and fighting for justice in the world around her. But where her heart truly lies is in peace and quiet, and good tilled earth. Today of all days, it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.
