With over a decade of experience as an editor, book coach, and bestselling ghostwriter, and many more as a voracious bookworm, Emily writes cozy fantasy romances full of heart, whimsy, wordplay, and stabby sentient houseplants.

When she’s not writing, you can find Emily baking, playing board games, planning her next Ren Faire costume, adopting yet another arts-and-crafts-related hobby, hiking, or advocating for the freedom to read as a state co-leader of Authors Against Book Bans. She lives in Colorado, home to many historical bandits, with her partner and a forest of houseplants, including a pothos named Bartleby.
