About the author
Erin Evans
19 books15 followersErin Evans is a stay-at-home mom of seven (yep!), wonderful, little children. When she's not chasing after her offspring, changing diapers, teaching school, cooking gruel, chauffeuring minions about, or potty training, she is writing, playing drums at her church or crashed out dead asleep.
BOOKS:
- In her first series, "The Rhine Maiden" (Books 1-5), Erin based her siren-voiced character, Piper Cavanaugh, on her own life, but decided to have pity on Piper and only gave her two kids... to start off with.
- The Pernicious Princess series is a delightfully wicked take on twisted fairy tales. Book 3 is coming 2015.
- Food for Love, a foodie inspired romantic comedy with an urban fantasy twist.
REVIEWS:
The Rhine Maiden - ABNA 2012 Quarterfinalist
Food for Love - ABNA 2013 Quarterfinalist
- "... a very satisfying read ... fun and imaginative -- and romantic, of course ... this book is highly entertaining" - Publishers Weekly (ABNA 2013 Manuscript Review)
- "The humor and verve the protagonist exhibits are refreshing and delightful to read." - ABNA Expert Reviewer (Partial Manuscript Review)
- "The story unfolds rapidly, and Cordelia's voice is strong, individualistic and rich with self deprecating humor." - ABNA Expert Reviewer (Partial Manuscript Review)
FAVORITE BOOKS
In urban fantasy, Erin enjoys Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, and Kim Harrison. All time favorite authors would be a tie between Robin Hobb and Jasper Fforde. Best series would be Jim Butcher's Codex Alera.

Erin Evans blends ancient teachings with modern wisdom in a way that leaves her readers with an aftertaste of wincing bliss akin to a shot of tequila.
To put into words what this book means to me and to the yoga community would be like trying to shove lightning in a jar, but here’s trying. Erin has managed to take the lofty, unobtainable, and if I’m honest- daunting- sutras of yoga and make them make sense.
She breaks each teaching into its parts and fits them into the lens of modern living while also driving home their personal relevance. It’s one thing to read the words of the sutras, and another to live them and Erin shows you how to *live* them. She blends traditional proverbs and narratives
with personal experiences and real-life stories in a very intimate and vulnerable way. Her writing is so approachable and conversational that you’ll almost hear her cheeky little laugh and feel like you’re joining her for a fireside chat every time you open the pages.
I’ve known Erin for over a decade and experienced her teachings (or “truth bombs”) in gymnasiams, yoga retreats, studio classes, rooftop meditations, zoom practices, podcasts, through yoga teacher training, over cups of coffee, and after glasses of wine, and this manuscript feels like the condensed nectar and triumphant accumulation of her inspiring and unapologetic Erin-ness.
It is the wisdom from the diamond in the rough who taught herself to shine. This is the type of book you’ll reach for at different stages of your life and each time come away with something new.
A gift, it is an absolute gift.

This book was everything I didn’t know I needed. Wise, relatable, profound, and bringing immediacy, I loved every page.

This book is an absolute gift. Erin has provided a unique deep dive into the ancient practice of yoga through exploring the yoga sutras and how to apply them to this modern, materialistic, fast-paced world. Erin does this by using vulnerable and honest examples from her own life to show relevance as well as presenting complicated ideas into comprehensible understanding. This book has profoundly deepened my own yoga practice, and I am excited to have this special guide to life on my shelf to refer to for the rest of my life.
