Hello! I'm Emma and I write witchy, fantasy fiction.
While I always secretly dreamed of being a writer, I didn't take my writing seriously until I hit my forties and realised that life is way too short not to follow your dreams.
My author journey began in 2020 with the release of The First Ethereal. I published the sequel, The Blessing of Crows in 2022 and my third book, a standalone prequel, called The Magic Keepers, in 2024.
Look out for book four, The Butterfly Witch in summer 2025.
What about when I am not writing
When I'm not weaving magical narratives, you'll find me...
...either buried in a good book, torturing my poor cello (I'm a new learner), or employing stealth tactics to sneak 'just one more' houseplant past my surprisingly tolerant husband. I’m slowly turning our home into an indoor jungle, though I'm not sure my Mr. Wonderful has caught on to the full extent of this plan just yet!
Until recently, our lives revolved around our beloved animals. Our last dog passed away suddenly in 2022, aged 15 and as any animal lover knows, they each take a piece of you with them.
We're still not quite ready for another dog of our own, so for now, I content myself with cuddles from friends' pooches, and tickling any passing cat who'll tolerate the attention.
Writing is a solitary business, but I love a natter, so please say hello on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook.
