Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erika Mailman is an American author and journalist.[1] Mailman was born in the United States, growing up in Vermont and attending both Colby College and the University of Arizona, Tucson. She later began writing a column for the Montclarion edition of the Contra Costa Times.[2] She has lived in Oakland, California for the last 7 years.[3] She has taught at Chabot College in Hayward, California.[4]

Mailman, born in Vermont to a German-American family, is the descendant of a woman who twice stood trial for witchcraft in the Salem witch trials in 1692.[5]

Mailman's debut novel The Witch's Trinity reportedly sold for six-figures.[6] It is set in a medieval German town in 1487 and examines the struggle between Christianity and pagan tradition through the story of a Christian woman on trial for witchcraft.[6]

Reception

[edit]

Critical reception for Mailman's work has been mostly positive,[7] with The Witch's Trinity gaining praise from Marie Claire and Boston.com.[8][9] The Isle of Man Today criticized The Witch's Trinity, stating that it "is unsophisticated in its good versus evil premise".[10] The novel was a San Francisco Chronicle Notable Book of 2007, and a Bram Stoker Award finalist.
