Emily Porterfield

Emily Porterfield has been writing for most of her life. She grew up in the Northeast, captivated by the austere beauty of nature - the contrast of granite spires, breathtaking gorges and huge deciduous trees ablaze in autumn splendor. She can't imagine a life without these companions: trees, lakes, sunsets and moonlit nights. Her heart has been tied to the land since she was a child, and she draws inspiration from it. Emily has ventured to the ends of the earth to view pristine places of immense natural beauty. She finds them awe-inspiring and grounding. No wonder these setting creep into her work.

Emily started writing in her early teens, primarily prose, poetry, lyrics, and music. She was first published in college - multiple pieces of prose every year - then graduated to nonfiction while continuing to write lyrics and attend graduate school. Emily is a composer, explorer, nature photographer and amateur filmmaker. You'll find her living off the beaten path enjoying many a Norman Rockwell moment. She loves roaring fires, quiet moments at home, a good sweet German Riesling, and believes embers must be the 8th wonder of the world - a distinction shared only by her editor, Tara. When she isn't stargazing, hanging out at the farmer's market, hugging trees or mastering a Rachmaninov piece, you'll find Emily writing sweet romances with a bit of comedy, drama or suspense, in bite-sized novellas or cozy novels lengths.
