Emma Shelford feels that life is only complete with healthy doses of magic, history, and science. Since these aren't often found in the same place, she created her own worlds where they happily coexist. If you catch her in person, she will eagerly discuss Lord of the Rings ad nauseam, why the ancient Sumerians are so cool, and the important role of phytoplankton in the ocean. Emma is the author of the Nautilus Legends (a marine biologist discovers that mythical sea creatures are real), Magical Morgan (Morgan switches bodies and finds herself possessed by an elemental spirit), Immortal Merlin (Merlin is immortal, forever young, and living in the modern day), and the Breenan Series (a young woman follows a mysterious stranger into an enchanting Otherworld).
