Emerald O’Brien is a Canadian writer who grew up just east of Toronto, Ontario. She studied Television Broadcasting and Communications Media, and graduated from the program at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario.

When Emerald is not reading or writing unpredictable stories packed with suspense, she loves baking, bonfires, binging Netflix shows, and spending time with family.

A horror movie enthusiast, Emerald can be found watching them at the movie theatre with her best friend or while cuddled up on the couch with her favourite snacks.

Wilde Women by Kiersten Modglin
"This was stellar! Not to mention the perfect way to kick off Fall. I got completely lost in the pages, entranced by this tale of secrets, strong women and mind boggling madness.

“He said good people do bad things, and bad people do good things, but what makes a person good isn’t their intentions. It’s their actions.”
Emerald O'Brien, The Girls Across The Bay

“The past is never what it seems. Not even our own memories accurately process everything we’ve been through. Time and other experiences warp the facts. Secrets and lies distort whatever truth we thought we knew to begin with, but each experience leaves us with a feeling. Some complex—feelings at odds with each other—but they’re the way we truly remember things.”
Emerald O'Brien, The Girls Across The Bay

“over. No guiding voice before the story had been written. I shouldn’t have made a promise. But I did. “What do I have to do?” Madigan asked. Find the flaw, Madigan. Her first foster father’s words echoed in her mind through all the years after she and her sister had”
Emerald O'Brien, The Girls Across The Bay
