Emma Jane is a small-town Midwest native, middle school English teacher, avid reader, and romance author with degrees in English education and speech and theatre education. A lifelong lover of classic literature, she blends timeless romantic themes with modern stories of life, ambition, and belonging.
A hobby golfer, Emma spends her summers at the country club enjoying ladies’ league, couples’ tournaments, and reading romance novels in the golf cart beside her collegiate-golfer-turned husband and their two sons.
Inspired by years of tournaments and country club drama, Emma brings an authentic voice to The Ledges series, exploring class, identity, ambition, and the challenges women face in a sport shaped by wealth and tradition. Set against the sun-drenched fairways of the Lake of the Ozarks, the series is filled with romance, charm, and plenty of course drama.
When she is not teaching or writing, Emma enjoys hosting elaborate dinner parties and teaching line dancing at her local country bar.
