About the Author

Emma Petersen wrote her first Romance in high school after falling in love with Historical Romance and has been writing ever since. Her favorite response when people ask her why she writes is, “Because it stops the voices.” This answer gets her two reactions usually (as do a lot of things she says often do) startled laughter and worried looks. The truth is that Emma does write to stop the voices. The voices of demanding heroes and kick sass heroines who want their story told, so Emma does as she’s told and does her best to weave stories of passion, love and adventure.

Her love of the written word comes from her mother. As a child, Emma and her mother would spend Saturdays lost in their local library researching and reading everything and anything that caught their fancy. From pirates to vampires, no realm or possibility was left unexplored.

The youngest of three girls, Emma grew up in beautiful Southern California where she spent almost as much time at the beach as she did at the library. The love of the ocean is something else she has inherited from her parents and since she cannot stand to be far from it, she has continued to live not to far from where she grew up.

In her spare time Emma likes to play around with graphic designing and website design. She is also the Paranormal Co-Liaison for the award winning author’s resource website and forum RomanceDivas.com. She’s a member of RWA and RWAOnline, as well as Passionate Ink chapters, where she serves as Vice President.
