About

Hi! My name is Emily!

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I’ve also been obsessed with books for just as long (just ask my parents!). As a Christian, I crave deep, breath-taking, awe-inspiring stories that not only capture my heart and imagination, but lead me towards Truth and Beauty Himself: Christ.

In a world of relativism and secularism, I’ve struggled to find great stories that express authentic love. I love books. But often the world offers me lust instead of love. It glorifies violence and a hundred other things that make me want to step through pages and strangle characters. Thankfully, the laws of science prevent me from doing so; otherwise there would be a lot of casualties.

This struggle has led me to a whole other side of the internet and “booksphere”: Christian fantasy. I’m learning the value of stories that stay with me not simply because of their beautiful prose or characters, but because they’re challenging my heart to seek the light. Beyond exploring this beautiful genre, I still read novels that aren’t Christian; I enjoy reading a variety of books and watching movies and analyzing/reviewing them from a Christian perspective.

I love to write. My stories aren’t perfect or better than the rest, but they’re part of my journey in seeking Truth and Beauty. And I would love if you joined me on this journey toward the Light.

Some more facts about me...

  • My favourite food is sushi.
  • Jesus is my best friend and partner-in-crime. We’ve had many plotting sessions together.
  • I love wandering through ancient cathedrals (even if it makes my neck sore).
  • I wish I could have a pet robot hedgehog.
  • I love analyzing/reviewing every book and movie I consume from a Christian perspective.
  • I LOVE the scent of evergreens and the smell of rain (which, for all those logophiles out there, is called petrichor).
  • I’ve been known to rant about characters and plots and write whole essays on their christian value – and no, not for school.
  • I love, love, love music. I’ve sung in a choir for *almost* as long as I’ve been alive, play guitar and piano, and love both watching and participating in musical theatre.
  • My favourite movies are the Enola Holmes series on Netflix.
  • I started writing my first full-length book in Grade 8, and after *many* revisions and rewrites I’m almost finished (we’re at four years now!)
  • My favourite books (and I know this is a terrible question for a bookworm, but still) include the Nedé Rising duology by Jess Corban, Shielded  by KayLynn Flanders, and the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I also love books by Nadine Brandes and Morgan L. Busse… Romanov  by Nadine Brandes is super creative!
