The Author
Erica Colahan
Author Erica Colahan understands that the strongest stories are written in the margins of a busy life. A Philadelphia-area professional shepherding a household of busy offspring on a steady stream of caffeine, Erica balances the vibrant energy of the present with the nostalgia and often-harsh realities of the past.
The Oystercatcher of Southwark is a multi-generational exploration of resilience inspired by a true story that refused to be forgotten. Whether she’s working full-time or chasing a historical lead, Erica writes for those who know that small actions change lives. The search for truth, faith, and belonging remains the same.
