Emily Michel writes various shades of Romance, all of which include snark, independent women (sometimes too much so), and the men strong enough to handle them. She negotiates with her three feline overlords on a daily basis for the space and time to write, edit, and eat. Occasionally, her husband drags her out of the house for her own damn good, and her two grown kids are endless sources of amusement for her. She has 11 books out in the wild.
