edit data

Em McDermott is the author of fantasies that range from sweet to spicy. A lifelong dreamer, Em’s great loves—the ocean, dragons, and ancient mythology—find their way often into her worlds, which she populates with morally gray heroes and heroines who make their own destinies.

She can be found writing in a cabin in the woods of upstate NY. She shares her home with her two loving partners, a small flock of dragons (cough, cough, pet chickens), and more zucchini plants than is entirely reasonable.

If you have laundry to put off, visit her website to join her newsletter or check out her Dark Dreamers Facebook group, where the dream never ends.
