Welcome to
my life.

Erica Drayton was born in the Bronx in New York City. She began writing stories almost immediately after learning how to read and write from her mother, a former English teacher.

As a gay Black woman, Erica used storytelling as a way to express her feelings through poetry and fantasy novels from a young age.

After college, she continued developing her passion for storytelling through short fiction—eventually challenging herself to write a 100-word story every day for 1,000 consecutive days.

Her latest dream project is a murder mystery series, written on her quest to become the next Agatha Christie.
