More About the Author

A decade or so ago, Erica Miner was a violinist with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York City. When injuries from a car accident forced her to give up her professional musical career, she knew she needed another creative outlet and turned to her lifelong love of writing to fill the gap, studying screenwriting and novel writing in New York and Los Angeles. Her first screenplay, Hummingbird, won awards in several competitions, including Writers Digest, and her debut novel, Travels With My Lovers won the Fiction Prize in the Direct from the Author Book Awards. In 2009, she published FourEver Friends, a coming-of-age novel set in the 1960s. Her suspense thriller, Murder In The Pit, based on her experiences at the Met Opera, was published in June of 2010, and has garnered five-star reviews across the board.

Erica's writings have appeared in Vision Magazine, WORD San Diego, Our City - Istanbul, and in numerous E-zines, and has appeared in dozens of interviews on radio and online. Erica lectures widely on writing and opera and is also a top-rated lecturer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heady and exotic read, February 17, 2005

Erica Miner has created a heady and exotic read, very rich. She engages the reader in the culture well. As I read I felt that I should be listening to classical music, sipping red wine, wearing silk pajamas and eating bon-bons and slipping the odd Italian or French phrase into my vocabulary. Miner does an excellent job of putting the reader into the setting.

"Travels" is a sensual armchair journey to places I can only read about and wonder.....

I am only a novel reader when I am trying to escape my own realities... Erica Miner's book was perfect for my mental escape; she creates beautiful imagery, accompanied with a titillating story that sweeps the reader along a fascinating emotional journey. "Travels with My Lover" was exactly what I needed when I wanted to indulge my need to vicariously live through the eyes of another.
