Alumni Highlight: Erin Craig (Whipkey) 2001
Erin A. Craig ‘01 is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows.
After getting her B.F.A. from the University of Michigan, in Theatre Design and Production, she stage managed tragic operas with hunchbacks, séances, and murderous clowns, then decided she wanted to write books that were just as spooky.
An avid reader, decent quilter, rabid basketball fan, and collector of typewriters, brass figurines, and sparkly shoes, Erin makes her home in West Michigan with her husband and daughter.
Erin remains thankful to this day for her teachers at Spring Lake who encouraged creative thinking.
