BIOGRAPHY
Emma is the author of the 9 volume Claire Burke mystery series involving two mothers with very different domestic situations and approaches to life. Despite this and their conflicting personalities they manage to solve one crime after another, aided by a host of interesting characters with various quirks, strengths and limitations of their own.

Emma's memoir, "...and along came Alexis" was published in 2021 and describes the author's journey in helping her daughter deal with profound developmental disabilities. It is an upbeat story despite the grimness of the topic. The author is constantly obliged to think outside the box in order to make things work for her daughter and this sometimes leads to hilarious results.

Emma is currently working on a cookbook entitled Gourmet Puree: What to do when you can't chew. She and her husband live in Edmonton, Alberta with their daughter, Alexis.
