I wear many hats—writer, mother, design fiend—but, above all, I am a storyteller.
WRITING BEHIND THE LINES
Author, Designer, Mother, Fan of Funny
Hello and welcome to my website. I’m an enthusiastic writer with an often sassy viewpoint.
Thank you for all the positive feedback my work has received. I hope to foster a connection with a wider audience as my novel gets closer to launch date. I’m looking forward to sharing my future stories as they come to fruition, but in the meantime, check out some of my thoughts and more personal blog posts below.
I HAVE THREE NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS COMING OUT SOON!
Please check back for the Amazon link once I have my page up and running.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Storyteller at Heart
Writing as Emma Brookhaven
Writer and reader of fiction, screenplays, poetry, non-fiction, websites, copy for architects, composers, writers and designers—and random billboards. I am an omnivorous creator of content. If it needs words, I have written behind, between and in front of the lines.
There are rules and there is passion: I always, but always hunt down the passion. I write and I read like I talk. Fast and furious. And, from time-to-time, funny.
UPCOMING BOOKS
Oak Bay Witches
Writing as Emma Brookhaven
First draft of Book One is done! I'm going to put this into words right now because it is true: I am proud of myself. 75,518 words and a meaty job for an editor but booyah, yeehaw, huzzah and a little dance of joy—I'm not as happy as a clam, oh no, I am clam stew with french fries on the side.
OAK BAY WITCHES + A SANDY CHRISTMAS
I am so excited to share with you my new witch trilogy, as well as a holiday romance, which are in the works. Please check back regularly for updates and word counts.
The San Diego Writers Retreat authors have all promised to bring their completed WiP to the RWA San Francisco in 2020. The gauntlet has been thrown down! Look for us there. We will be the ones with the cat-got-the-cream smiles. Either that, or wearing very dark glasses.

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
AN ALPHABET OF EMOTIONS

I’ve been working on several children's books and I can't wait to share them with you. The first one is for preschoolers, HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? AN ALPHABET OF EMOTIONS FOR FUNNY KIDS WITH BIG FEELINGS. The idea is for kids to get a chance to talk about what is going on in their lives using the alphabet to help them grow their vocabulary of feelings. It doesn't hurt that it's cute and funny too. I will update with an Amazon link soon.

Cats with a sense of humor. This is a book for cats, cat lovers and the people who may not love cats but love someone who does... which, face it, is most of the planet.
