Emma Foster was the pseudonym that Julie Strauss initially launched her fiction writing career with. As Julie says, "I used to publish romance novels under the pen name Emma Foster. But it turned out I’m way too lazy to keep up two online profiles in addition to all the other personalities inside my head. So I dumped the pen name, and now you can find me at social media places as Julie Wrote A Book. I’d make a terrible spy. (Or maybe the Best Spy Ever. You’ll never know for sure.)"
