Erin Downing has written more than fifty books for young adults, tweens, and kids, including SPACEPOP: Not Your Average Princesses , Best Friends (Until Someone Better Comes Alon g), A Funny Thing About Love , and Moon Shadow (in stores summer 2017). She also writes both The Quirks and Puppy Pirates series (as Erin Soderberg). Before becoming an author, Erin was a book editor, a cookie inventor, and also worked for Nickelodeon. When she's not writing, Erin plays guitar, reads, watches TV, and--like Luna--dreams of a life with a butler, maid service, and a personal chef. She lives in Minneapolis, MN, with her husband, kids, and a very fluffy dog.
