My name is Emory Raine Ivie, and I'm 16 years old. I was born in Texas, USA, but now I live on a small farm in North Carolina with my horse, Shadow, two dogs, a rescued cat, numerous ducks, chickens, geese, and guineas. In my free time, you can find me drawing, writing, playing with my animals, or listening to very loud, very upbeat Christian music.

I've had a passion for writing since I could hold a pencil (though I prefer to use a computer, now). I have a soft spot for all of God's creatures, which is why animals are the main subject of my writings - most specifically, horses. I'm currently working on the fourth book in my children's fantasy series, Legends of Saphirra, where I express my fascination with these beautiful creatures (in the ...more

I love young authors! I am almost a teenager myself and I like to write too. Your pet rescue sounds amazing, I visited the website. It looks great! How did you get the idea for the pet rescue and for your books? Please write back, I would love to hear from you! -Becca

Thank you so much for reaching out to me! I really appreciate your kind words. To answer your questions, I started my pet rescue back in 2018 when a stray cat I named Luna showed up at our house. After finding her a loving home, I started fostering and coordinating adoptions for a local rescue farm, and since then I've continued to find homes for pets abandoned in our area. I just really love animals - and I love to write about them, too!

I published the first book in my fantasy series, Legends of Saphirra, when I was twelve. If you took a look at the dashboard of my computer, you'd find a BUNCH of Chapter 1s, which is how The Drought began. My main fictional writing subjects has always been ... well, horses, and I've really had a lot of fun working on my fantasy series. The cool thing about writing fantasy is that you can create anything you want to in them ... for example, a talking, lake-green unicorn named Ara that can walk on water (you can read more about her if you ever decide to check out my series). I've been working on the series for four years and am currently working on Book 4, The Siren. I love writing so much that I hope to get a writing career in the future.

It's really cool to hear from another young storyteller! What do you like to write about? I'd love to hear more! Thank you again for reaching out to me and have a blessed day! - Emory Raine Ivie(less)

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

It has come a LONG way since I first thought about adding a sequel to The Drought (Trust me, Version 1 was not pretty)! It took a long time to work out the details, but after several rewrites, revisions, and revisits, I finally had a manuscript I was happy with!(less)
