User Profile

Emily Ryan-Davis lives and writes near Baltimore, Maryland, surrounded by her fiance, a cat, a rat, several fish, and a steady aerial parade of jets coming or going from the airport. She has also lived in West Virginia, Georgia, Virginia, and Massachusetts.

She didn't always want to write books. As a child, she had her eye on a variety of career paths. She wanted to be a lawyer, a doctor, an English teacher, a journalist, and, at one point, she even wanted to be Stevie Wonder.

However, once she started college, she realized she enjoyed learning too much to ever settle on one focus of study. She has attended Concord College and Fairmont State College (both in West Virginia), Massachusetts Bay Community College, and University of Maryland-Baltimore County. Instead of continuing to invest thousands and thousands of dollars into advanced degree programs, she decided to gather up her love of all things literary, historical, philosophical, religious, artistic, musical, and anthropological, and channel them toward research and writing that doesn't adhere to a pre-fabricated syllabus.

In addition to reading and writing, she enjoys shopping, talking about herself, knitting, drawing, and singing. The jury is still out on whether she likes to quilt, or whether she's simply attracted to the pretty colors.
