Emily Lark writes fantasy for all ages with a strong emphasis on young adult and middle grade readers. When she isn't weaving spells or summoning creatures from the abyss, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their small collection of pets. Encouraged by one of her professors back in 2003 to pursue a career in writing, Emily left the world of early childhood eduction behind and began writing articles for content websites. Family is extremely important to Emily, which probably explains why she lives less than fifteen minutes away from her childhood home in rural Pennsylvania.
