Erin Gilman
Erin Gilman was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He attended college at Stanford University and graduated from Academy of Art in San Francisco.

While writing for the New York Times/Press Democrat, he created “The Dating Code” blog, a web-based advice column for relationship, love, and dating issues. The widespread popularity of Erin’s work culminated in its inclusion as one of the Top 100 blogs in syndication according to Blogburst.com in 2005. All of the research, notes, conversations, advice, and feedback Erin compiled while writing “The Dating Code” eventually became his first published book “(e)motion: the energy of romance” under the name Erin Scott. The book expanded upon the blog to further explore the dynamics of masculine and feminine perspectives, analyze their healthy vs. unhealthy interactions, and ultimately how to successfully perpetuate quality and quantity of romance in a relationship indefinitely. It was the first book published for Apple’s iPhone that contained both the written text and audio book within a single application.

“The Third Age: The Fallen” was Erin’s second book and the first in a trilogy that redefines the boundaries of traditional genres such as horror, Christian, mystery, fantasy, and science fiction. The story of Ethan, a 15-year old boy on a journey of self-discovery after his simple mountain home is destroyed by war angels and mysterious soldiers, combines quantum mechanics, theology, and elements of parapsychology while weaving an exciting tale of a mystical world parallel to our own where miracles are commonplace and a young man tries to discern the truth within his parents’ lies, while also realizing that his dark past has the power to destroy the world as we know it as well as the dimension beyond.

The second book in the series, “The Third Age: Nephilim” follows protagonist Noah into adulthood, this time incorporating the mysterious Nephilim, the supernatural offspring of fallen angels and human women found in the Book of Enoch, an ancient text written by the Biblical Noah’s great-grandfather. Now, the Great Lie is beginning to take root while its leaders conduct experiments to develop a weapon so unexpected and powerful that it could destroy even armies of angels. Meanwhile, a new discovery of remarkable and unrelenting evil will create another treacherous front in the impending clash of mortals, immortals, and those in between.

The final book “The Third Age: Tartarus” sees Noah’s ominous quest finally merge with the coming end of the age of Man and the universe as we know it. New Jerusalem has shut its gates and the few million souls protected within its walls wait in terror as the combined armies of the mortal and spiritual worlds stand outside, poised and waiting for the command to attack: The Army of the Nephilim with their host bodies, The Army of the Great Lie with their billions of scientifically engineered clones, and the Fallen Angels led by the eternal serpent, Lucifer. Given the choice between God’s judgment and one last chance to wage war, all have met at New Jerusalem, signaling the final cataclysmic battle on the planet.

“Time Stand Still” is Erin’s latest fictional endeavor. Beginning with a simple but intriguing concept of writing a book by one page a day, the novel-in-progress has quickly accelerated in popularity through word of mouth, social media, and cyberspace, while gaining a large and global following as fans continue to eagerly devour each daily addition to the ongoing story. The result is a spellbinding adventure set in exotic locations across the globe in a probable future that will change the way we all see the fragile nature of the universe and the role we will play as its protectors while a disturbing mystery is investigated that will bring the major religions to the tipping point of a worldwide holy war. Forcing the reader to wrestle with the ethical and historical dilemma of time manipulation and its influence on events in human history, “Time Stand Still” also explores how quantum mechanics will play a part in achieving the real-life goal of traversing time, as well as the research of psychoanalytical pioneer Carl Jung on the nature of human consciousness and its connection to time and past lives.
