E.W. (Emily Williams) Skinner was a prot�g� of the late master of the pulps or paperback originals, Harry Whittington. Skinner interviewed Whittington during her days as a feature writer for the Clearwater Sun daily newspaper and its weekly division. They became friends and he taught her how to plot and gave her approval of the original outline and sample chapter for her first novel, "Marquel" shortly before he died in 1989. "Marquel" is a Hollywood genre in the Adult Fiction category. After Whittington passed away, Skinner challenged herself to write as her mentor did and wrote a chapter a day and finished the novel "Marquel" in 52 days. For more details on the novel's history read: http: //www.thefilmmom.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-book-trailer-now.html Fast forward, a second daughter Blair is born and Emily and husband Tom focus on raising their family. Both daughters are now grown and work in Hollywood. "St. Blair: Children of the Night" is a young adult paranormal appropriately named after her youngest daughter, Blair. When Emily isn't working as a marketing consultant or writing, she enjoys antiquing/thrifting and producing short films. Emily is the proud Executive Producer of Blair Skinner's film "Relative Eternity," a 2012 LA Shorts Film Festival selection, Sunscreen Film Festival selection and Short Film Corner Festival de Cannes selection.
