Her big brother was special - that was something she had always known. He was smart - regardless of school grades - he was strong, over-protective, kind, and so much more. In her mind, there was nothing her big brother couldn't do.

Of course, she never realized how special he was until her strange dream came... the dreams that revealed everything in her family isn't quite what she thought. That her brother was more special than she had known. Of course he was special - he was the reincarnation of King Arthur!

Now it is her turn to protect him in a race against time and destiny itself, as she struggles to come to terms with her powers, destiny, and role in her brother's life. She must protect him until his memories awaken and he can become King Arthur once more...

Her chest burned as she ran through the Forest. She gasped for breath and batted familiar branches out of her way. She pushed her body harder, desperation giving her energy she didn’t normally have.

The Emily Katherine Series

The Emily Katherine series is a series of eight books that popped into my head one day in...oh, sixth grade? I've been jotting down bits and pieces of ideas from every novel and little factoids about the characters ever since. I'm not entirely sure where the series is going to end, or if it even truly begins with the first book. I've been writing fanfiction almost as long as I've been working on Emily. Fanfiction has helped my writing skills greatly, and I feel like I might just be ready to begin writing book one.

I hope to see Emily and her adventures on bookshelves someday, and I'll be posting excerpts from the novels on this blog in the hopes that anyone who happens to read it will like it and will be kind enough to give me advice on how to improve my writing, and on how to make Emily's adventures more exciting.

Hoping to see you soon,
