edit data

EM Prazeman came to the United States as a refugee. Her family settled in the Pacific NW after moving frequently across the US, so EM got a lot of practice being the new kid at school. Super shy? Check. Reclusive? You bet.

In third grade, her father suggested she learn an instrument. She picked violin, because harps are expensive (she was frugal-minded, even as a kid) and the piano looked hard.

The Kilhellion

The cover for the first book in my new sword and sorcery series, True Dawn

When I release a new book, there are so many feelings. Excitement. Hope. A kind of silent whimper whenever I wonder if anyone will like it. Relief, because a lot of hard work has finally come to fruition. Doubts about some choices I made. Eagerness to find out which characters are reader favorites, and what they think

Quotes by E.M. Prazeman (?)

“She sailed slowly along the east coasts, but here she surfed like a swift trader, icicles blown in strange angles and spirals in her rigging. The unearthly icicles often shattered, only to reform once more, and ice sometimes formed on the sails too, to break off in dangerous, sharp shards whenever the sails luffed.”
― E.M. Prazeman, Confidante

“Someone was listening outside his door. Mark closed his eyes and in his mind the monstrous waves soared high above their sails. He sang to soothe the water, but mostly he sang for the sailor who listened, and Laura, and Gale, and the ship. He could think of no greater honor than to sing in this place, where nothing lasted and everything mattered.”
― E.M. Prazeman, Confidante

“The heavy-hulled ship with its steel bow and iron-clad sides groaned, squeaked and crackled like a huge old wheelbarrow breaking under a load of big rocks.”
