Emily grew up a proud Army brat with an Anne Shirley-esque imagination. She loves reading, eating too many potato chips, and spending time with her husband-who loves books almost as much as she does. When not writing fantastical stories, Emily acts a judge in an annual writing contest, explores the great outdoors, and spends way too much time at the library. Her debut novel was inspired by her experience on a cruise ship (which proved to be quite flammable, unfortunately).
