Erin McKenzie has been a lover of words since she first learned her ABCs, sparking a lifelong passion for reading, writing, and of course, word games! She is a professional high school counselor, partner to her wife of eighteen years, Mommy to their three children, chief dishwasher and laundry folder, soccer mom, and homework checker. Her happy places are the beach or deep within the pages of a good book...preferably both at once. She and her family live in the Finger Lakes region of New York State and share their home with several beloved furbabies.
