E.M. Kaplan Hi Diane,

I love to read mysteries, romance, and fantasy--anything with great characters.

The EM stands for Emily+Middle name (which only my mom and my official documents know.)

:)
E.M. Kaplan Just finished the draft of the 3rd and final Mask book! It will be with my editors soon and then into your hands within the next couple of months. Thanks for asking!
E.M. Kaplan Fangirl -- Rainbow Rowell
Everybody's Fool -- Richard Russo

E.M. Kaplan Northern Illinois, close to the Wisconsin border. Brrrr! :)
E.M. Kaplan The best thing about being a writer is exacting sweet, sweet revenge on the people who have wronged you in the past. Cleverly disguised, of course.
E.M. Kaplan Ha! Funny question.

I don't laugh out loud, but I'll admit to a wry smile now and then.

One of my favorites from my fantasy, Unmasked, is when Ott and Rob are sitting by a campfire. Ott is moping about the girl who "got away," and Rob tells him he stinks and needs a bath. Ott throws a cup at Rob's head.
E.M. Kaplan I love to people-watch. It's one of my favorite past-times. I'm constantly making mental notes. But I stand behind my disclaimer that any resemblance to real people or places is coincidental. :)
E.M. Kaplan As a writer, I have simple dreams. I don't need a Kardashian lifestyle to appease a Kanye sized ego. I'd just like to be a full-time writer instead of a job-holder who writes on the side.

I don't need a Hollywood deal or screenplay option. I'd just like to be in a few more libraries, translated into Spanish and a couple more languages, and turned into audiobooks for the visually and time-impaired.

Above all, I want to be enjoyed.
