Summer Inspiration

What inspires you?

I’m always curious what gets other people inspired? Excited? Where do you find your mojo?

For me, the number one thing is live music! Hearing my favorite bands or singers belt out my favorite songs always gets me going! My husband and I went to see John Mayer recently. He puts on one heck of a show! During the concert, I was plotting out a book! Not because I was bored, but because the energy flowed through me as I listened to his lyrics. There’s nothing like it. (And I must say, he’s pretty easy on the eyes.)

Another source of inspiration for me is travel. I love seeing the world with my family. In the beginning of August, my family of four and our close friends explored Italy for a week. We went to Rome, Pisa, Tuscany, Florence, San Gimignano, Verona and ended in Venice. It was HOT, but breathtaking and steeped in history. Did I mention it was hot? Around 100-105 degrees every day. Our guides were amazing though, taking us to high tourist areas early in the mornings to avoid the lines and we walked as much as possible in the shade. It was fantastic. Rome was my favorite. We ate dinner one night across the street from the Coliseum. It was like being in a dream. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

I am excited to say that after my fun filled summer, I am buckling down and writing! I will be in a boxed set that comes out in March. I’ve been plotting and can’t wait for you guys to read the finished product! I’m already in love with the characters. I’ll give you more clues and hints in future blog posts!

Emma was raised in upstate NY. Being an only child, she spent a great deal of time alone dreaming up characters that would keep her company on long family road trips. Putting her writing on the back burner, she went to college and became a chiropractor. After spending 14 years healing patients, Emma decided—with the help of her amazingly supportive husband—to use the creative side of her brain and let her characters come to the page. If she’s not writing, Emma can be found at the gym, one of her kids sporting events, Starbucks, or at a live music event. A perfect day for Emma would be spent at her lake house with her husband, two ginger-haired children, and Vizsla, reading a book and drinking a large cup of coffee (or wine) with music playing in the background.
