Emily J. Taylor (she, her, hers)


Emily J. Taylor is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of "Hotel Magnifique" and a new book, "The Otherwhere Post." Born and raised in California, she has lived in four states and on two continents, all of which have conveniently given her endless amounts of story fodder. She is a creative director in Minneapolis, where she spends long winters dreaming up glittering worlds to spin into dark tales.
