Erin Bledsoe

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Erin Bledsoe is a historical fiction author whose book, THE FORTY ELEPHANTS, is best described as a gender-bent Peaky Blinders meets Ocean’s 8 tale of London's first female gang—a group of high-stakes shoplifters who robbed the city's classiest department stores in the 1920s—and the woman who comes to rule it: the notorious Alice Diamond.

Erin Bledsoe was told in sixth grade that her essay on Marie Antoinette showed promise, fueling her dream to write about historical women that break boundaries. When she’s not writing, she’s exploring nature, collecting journals, or rolling dice at a table with friends playing Dungeons and Dragons. She lives with her husband and children in Michigan.
