Erin Barrett

Erin Barrett grew up in South East Asia and traveled extensively through her childhood years, instilling a lasting and deep curiosity about almost everything. This is reflected in the diversity of topics she has written about in her numerous books, dozens of articles, and her nationally syndicated column, Random Kinds of Factness, which appeared in newspapers around the country for over seven years.

Her innate curiosity has produced a rather eclectic CV. Barrett is an editor, a certified Life Coach, an urban sustainability expert, a beekeeper and beer maker, a writing coach, an ordained, non-denominational minister; a painter, photographer, singer, and fine wine specialist and educator, with over a decade of work within the wine industry. She currently resides in Northern California with her partner and their 6 year old feline, Eleanor Rigby Soupstock.
