Her insider knowledge of courtroom drama and investigative procedures elevates the Shepherd & Associates series beyond typical PI fiction, creating narratives that feel both compelling and credible. An award-winning author who has earned the prestigious 5-Star Readers' Favorite Award, Erwin has published nine novels spanning crime fiction, romantic suspense, and mystery.

Their dynamic chemistry and compelling mysteries have inspired dreams of screen adaptation, with Jensen Ackles and his wife Danneel Ackles as the ideal casting for these charismatic leads.
