Emily Elizabeth Baker is a lifelong lover of writing and all things books. As the daughter of a librarian, she grew up crafting her first attempts at novels on the family desktop PC. With a BA in Classics and an MA in Education, she taught middle schoolers to find their own love of books before leaving to pursue her career in writing. Today, she lives on the shores of Lake Michigan, crafting novels and spending time with her dogs Gracie and Penny, her cat Piccola, and her horse Kees. You can also find her writing on Substack under The Writer on the Water or follow her Podcast, The Odyssey of a Novel pod.
