Ericka Clay is a traditionally published novelist and poet formerly represented by Robyn Russell.

She graduated from the University of Arkansas Creative Writing department and is the author of several books including her latest novel, A Bird Alone.

Ericka has been awarded several times by Writers Digest for various short fiction pieces. She has written four novels (one of which placed as a quarter-finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest) and has had her work featured in literary journals like Ruminate and Rock and Sling.

Ericka lives in Northwest Arkansas with her husband, daughter, two rats (yes, you read that correctly) and an insatiable need to push buttons, both figuratively and literally.
