Jacob Emrey was born and grew up in Northern California. After high school he joined the Marines and served as part of the Marine One security battalion. After his service ended, he went off to college to get his degree in History and a high school teaching credential. However, he was unlucky enough to graduate college and enter the workforce just as the real estate crisis exploded all over the world economy. With no teaching jobs in the U.S., Jacob looked overseas. Since then he has worked in Ukraine, Kuwait, China, and Thailand as well as a stent back in the United States. However, as passionate as he is about travel, writing has always been his first love, so no matter where he lives, he is always working on something whether a novella, short story, or novel. His earlier work, Millennium Stone, was awarded Editor’s Choice by iUniverse and was received with praise. Now Jacob has moved into the realm of adult fantasy fiction and has combined his unique experience as an international history teacher with powerful story telling.
