Realistic stories of hardship and hope

My name is Emma Thrasher, and I write books.

I’ve been shaped by stories ever since I learned to read when I was three. I think stories are a fundamental part of what it means to be human, and I’m committed to writing really good ones to give others the experience I had growing up.

I like books that show characters persevering in hard situations and coming out the better for it (think Frodo and Sam hiking to Mordor in Lord of the Rings, or Vin struggling to do the impossible in Mistborn), and I love realistic fantasy stories that show the author really did their research (like Dawn of Wonder by Jonathan Renshaw).

If you like those too, I’m your girl!
