Emily, born and raised in the vibrant city of Cork, Ireland, is an unabashed devotee of all things romance. As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, she found solace and inspiration in the works of iconic authors such as Candice Bushnell, Cassandra Clare, Stephanie Meyer, Suzanne Collins, Cecily von Ziegesar, Anna Todd, and J.K. Rowling. It was the absence of personally relatable characters in their narratives that propelled Emily to embark on her own storytelling journey.

As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, she found solace and inspiration in the works of iconic authors such as Candice Bushnell, Cassandra Clare, Stephanie Meyer, Suzanne Collins, Cecily von Ziegesar, Anna Todd, and J.K.

Writing became Emily's sanctuary from the tumultuous tides of her inner struggles, battling through moments of anxiety and depression. Her unique writing process involves delving into the depths of her characters' emotions, sculpting their pain, and nurturing their growth without always knowing the overarching path her stories will take. Taylor Swift's melodies infuse her romantic tales, while the resilience of BTS's music fuels the underdog spirit in her characters.

Beyond her pen, Emily finds solace in the harmonies of music, often losing herself in Spotify's extensive playlists, even though severe stage fright bars her from sharing her own vocal talents. An avid reader and an ardent cinephile, she finds her escape and inspiration in the immersive world of movies and TV series.

Memoirs of a Geisha, a beloved book and movie, holds a special place in Emily's heart, mesmerised by its imagery and captivated by the enduring love story it portrays. The concept of destined love, the idea of soulmates entwined across lifetimes, resonates deeply with her, fuelling her own pursuit of enduring love.

Through her writing, Emily endeavours to instill in her readers the belief that self-love and acceptance are essential ingredients for achieving greatness. She champions the beauty of embracing one's flaws and scars, urging her audience to cherish their uniqueness as their greatest strength. Her ultimate aspiration lies in crafting narratives that redefine societal norms, fostering a world where consent is revered, where love is rooted in respect, and where characters emerge triumphant from the shackles of their own minds.

Although Emily dreams to be a citizen of the world, she currently resides in Cork with her deaf cat, Doja. She has recently turned thirty and has decided that this is the decade in which she will change the world. One love story at a time. ...more
