Woven is a story about friendship. A bromance. Rory Essex never made friends his own age. When he moved across the street from Bethany Oman, he was the older kid playing with the baby. Rory befriended Beth’s besties– Devon and Essie. But as they got older, puberty struck, and the age-gap got wider. Rory found new friends, older friends. Inappropriate friends who impacted his entire life– Isis, Auggie, and Robin. Little Bethany Oman finally grew up, and the age-gap shrunk down to nothing. Now she’s Bethany Essex, and she wants her husband to reconnect with her soon-to-be married besties. Bethany and Essie are as thick as thieves, so they set their husbands up on a blind-bromance-date. Rory doesn’t realize he’s dating Devon– he just finds the guy intoxicating. Hours out of rehab, struggling with bipolar disorder, and a smothering family, Devon wants two things out of life: to feel safe and to feel alive by having fun. But Devon’s version of fun has to be at an extreme. Cops and fast cars, action movies, and manipulative friends are the makings of a livewire, lust-fueled bromance to last the next seventy years... Erica Chilson does not write in the 3rd person, wanting her readers to be her characters. Therefore, writing a bio about herself, is uncomfortable in the extreme. Born, raised, and here to stay, the Wicked Writer is a stump-jumper, a ridge-runner. Hailing from North Central Pennsylvania, directly on the New York State border; she loves the changes in seasons, the humid air, all the mountainous forest, and the gloomy atmosphere. Introverted, but not socially awkward, Erica prides herself on thinking first and filtering her speech. There are days she doesn't speak at all. If it wasn't for the fact that she lives with her parents, giving her a sense of reality, she would be a hermit, where the delivery man finds her months after expiration. Reading was an escape, a way to leave a not-so pleasant reality behind. Reading lent Erica the courage she gathered from the characters between the pages to long for a different life. Writing was an instrument of change, evolving Erica into the woman she is today- a better, more mature, more at peace thinker. Erica has a wicked mind, one she pours out into her creations. Her filter doesn't allow all of it to erupt, much to her relief. Sarcastic, with a very dark, perverse sense of humor, Erica puts a bit of herself into every character she writes.
