Emily Thompson is an author and artist, from northern California. Although she adores Steampunk and all things Victoriana, she also writes occasional Sci-fi and fantasy.

After studying film and animation in university, she changed to a Japanese language focus and studied abroad in Tokyo for a year. She received a degree in Japanese and later spent nearly another two years in Japan, teaching English and writing.

She now lives in Silicon Valley and spends most of her time writing in coffee shops, painting, and playing far too many video games.

Quotes by Emily Thompson (?)

“It would be cumbersome to travel with a load of books,” he began, still working it out. “But I hate to finish a book, only to be without anything else to read. I know which ones I want to read, I just don't have access to them. All right,” he said, turning to Idris now. “I wish I had a book that I could change into a different one, once I'm finished reading it.”
― Emily Thompson, Trick
