Emma Carr lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, son and a Scottish terrier, who loves to howl, snuggle, and choose the direction of every walk. Emma has always been a big reader of romance, but she never thought she'd become a writer. A few years ago, however, she'd had enough of her stressful marketing career and decided to go back to school to become a marketing professor. Unfortunately, she'd missed the deadline to apply, so she needed to find something to do while she waited for admissions to roll-around. For years, Emma suffered from insomnia, until she discovered the best way to fall asleep was to make up a story. With so many ideas tumbling around in her head, she knew it would be a cinch to write a best-selling romance novel (insert your own laughter here). So, she made an agreement with her husband: she'd keep the house clean and the kitchen stocked for a year while she wrote a novel. Years later, the house is still dirty, the refrigerator is empty, and the P.H.d. is no where to be found. In the meantime, Emma discovered a passion for writing, which her husband has supported 99% (when he's not complaining of hunger pains). London Falling is her first (published) novel and was inspired by a trip to London with her husband. London Dreaming is the second book in the series. When she's not writing, Emma is learning to play tennis, clearing toys off the floor, and reading tons of romance novels.
