While she'd like to confess to settling before her computer to write everyday in her silk and lace while half-naked boy-toys bring her champagne and truffles, the truth is Emma writes in her jammies and has to get her own Diet Coke.

Like many writers, Emma was bitten by the writing bug early in life. To date, her most memorable work has been The Blue Bowl Bunch which she both wrote and illustrated in sixth grade. It was a story about a bunch of grapes (yes, the fruit) that formed a club. It was mostly a series of puns and one liners that unfortunately started a life-long love of puns.

Emma lives in Maryland with her physicist husband, though they haven't managed to quite yet work the travel bugs out of their systems.
