Emily Layne is the author of the YA Paranormal Fantasy THESE WICKED WATERS as well as the new YA Science Fiction series The Lost Colony Trilogy, beginning with OF STARLIGHT & BONE, all with Owl Hollow Press.

Emily grew up a proud Army brat with an Anne Shirley-esque imagination. She loves reading, eating too much pizza, and spending time with her husband—who loves books almost as much as she does.

When not writing fantastical stories, Emily can be found playing with her curious children, exploring the great outdoors, or concocting mostly-believable excuses to avoid socializing.

I don't often read scifi. Which is funny, considering I'm writing and publishing a scifi trilogy. I've always found the majority of scifi too male-led with over-the-top tech jargon and aliens that made it hard to get into (my biggest struggle with St ...more

This book was so much fun to write. It's darker, more action-packed, and delves deeper into the romance/secrets that began in "Of Starlight and Bone." I hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it. ...more
