Ever since childhood, Emma Jane Holloway refused to accept that history was nothing but facts prisoned behind the closed door of time. Why waste a perfectly good playground coloring within the timelines? Accordingly, her novels are filled with whimsical impossibilities and the occasional eye-blinking impertinence—but always in the service of grand adventure.

Struggling between the practical and the artistic—a family tradition, along with ghosts and a belief in the curative powers of shortbread—Emma Jane has a degree in literature and job in finance. She lives in the Pacific Northwest in a house crammed with books, musical instruments, and half-finished sewing projects. In the meantime, she’s published articles, essays, short stories, and eno

In your case it might be that, or it might be the need to schedule your writing time so you are guaranteed peace and quiet to be creative. Or it might be the fact that you simply need to start writing, period, about anything at all. Fan fiction is good for getting the creative juices flowing. Generally speaking, writing is a habit like practicing the piano or training for a marathon. Some days are inspired, some not. The important point is to show up and do it whether the result is genius or pages no other human being will ever see.(less)

I am a disappointment to my cats

It is no secret that felines catalogue the shortcomings of their humans. Judgment radiates around them like a force field shot from their whiskers. The servant classes (those with two legs) are slow, clumsy and painfully slow to anticipate their needs. Plus, we use silly voices. Their attitude is never so acute as at Halloween. […]

Quotes by Emma Jane Holloway  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She wondered how Dr. Watson - a clever man in his own right - had lasted so many years without bashing his roommate over the head out of sheer frustration.”
― Emma Jane Holloway, A Study in Darkness

“Not that Dr Watson wasn't benign - he was one of the best souls in the Empire - but a man didn't get to be her uncle's right-hand man without a good uppercut and the stamina of a draft horse.”
― Emma Jane Holloway, A Study in Silks

“That's the trouble with gathering truth. It's never neat and tidy...”
― Emma Jane Holloway, A Study in Silks
