edit data

Emma K. Ohland is a 20-something author who has been telling stories since before she knew how to write them down. She grew up in the middle of a cornfield in Indiana, but her imagination often carried her away to other worlds. When she’s not writing, reading, or smelling books, she enjoys traveling, crocheting, and daydreaming in coffee shops. She graduated with a B.A. in English literature and currently lives with her partner, their energetic cat, and their dog who thinks she’s a cat. Her first short story will appear in the YA anthology Out There spring 2022 and her debut YA novel Funeral Girl will be published by Carolrhoda Lab fall 2022.

Quotes by Emma K. Ohland (?)

“I'm terrified. It's debilitating. I think about it every night, and every day, and living here makes it worse. My whole life has been surrounded by death and revolves around death. It literally consumes me, it keeps me from wanting to fall asleep or get in a car and now, with what happened to Milo, walk across the street. And I don't know what will happen to me after I die, and I think about that way too much. I want there to be an afterlife because the thought of not existing is horrifying, and then I think about existing forever and I'm horrified even more because, god, what could I even do with eternity? And then I think everything is okay because I am alive right now and that's good, but someday inevitably I'll have to face it and it could happen at literally any moment" -Georgia”

“...Mil was fascinated with history, with the idea that we are made up of all that has come before, and museums are a way of honoring that. When Milo was around twelve, he said that museums are kind of like churches in that sense. It's true, isn't it?" -Mr. D'Angelo”
