~ ~ ~ Me:
A 25-year career in news media relations preceded my achievements as an author; which was highlighted by an Amazon 2011-12 (10-month) best seller for "The Ghost Chaser's Daughter".
I'm a fiction writer drawn to the dark side of life, whether it be skitterings behind the veil, or the stir of smoldering passions gone awry.
My literary influences include Gillian Flynn, Patricia Highsmith, and Margaret Atwood.
TWO 5-Star Reviews for my newest book, 'Ghost Stories and Tales of Terror' ~

Brilliant Collection of Short Stories--for a Steal!, November 20, 2011 By MardyBum -
This review is from: Ghost Stories And Tales Of Terror, November 20, 2011
[Emily Hill] writes in the vein that Hitchcock made films: Disturbing and uncomfortable situations that could, and have, happened to average people. This is what makes it truly frightening.
I just devoured this over the weekend. Emily Hill does a fantastic job creating punchy short-stories that deliver every time. Unlike other titles in this genre, she does not rely on gratuitous bloodshed and cheap tricks.

Emily Has Found Her Niche!, November 20, 2011 By Lynnette A. Phillips (YUCAIPA, CA, United States)
I first fell in love with Emily's writing, her meticulous research skills and natural storytelling telling abilities when I read her historical novel, Jenkins: Confederate Blockade Runner.
I have to admit now though that I have a new love - I'm amazed at the skill Emily shows when drawing you into the story; at the involvement you feel. If you enjoyed her first journey into 'The Unexplained' (Book One) you'll be overwhelmed at the sheer terror she leads you into with this volume, Book Two.
