Erica Leigh Madson moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film business, but stayed for the mountains, the oceans and the desert. She was a bookworm from a very early age, immersing herself in mysteries, science fiction and action adventures. Her first Playboy when she was 11 came as a surprise--the science fiction stories were pretty good but the magazine certainly had some weird ideas about female anatomy and sex. Erica is branching out into a writing career after years of working in the Los Angeles film business in many different capacities. Her books are set against the industry she knows so well and the city where she has lived for the last 20 years. She wants to tell good stories that will appeal to women and the occasional intelligent male. Her other interests include skiing, motorcycles, hiking, baseball and, of course, the film business.
