The Composition of a Crow

Hey! My name is Emma and I live in rural England with my wonderful husband and tiny Cockerpoo called Taco. I spend a lot of my free time exploring the countryside and national parks. It’s always a good weekend if I get to walk another amazing trail as well as ending up in the local pub! I’m currently writing around a full time job which is sometimes a challenge, but when you love something you make it work.

Growing up, I have always been a creative and explored this in both writing and other art forms. It’s taken me several years to build my confidence and refine my writing technique to be able to publish my first ever novel. It’s a very surreal feeling and has been a steep uphill battle to get here, but I’m so glad I managed to make it!

In August of 2023, I sat down to write a novel that was a love letter to the horror and thriller genres in fiction as well as my passion for Greek mythology. In all the years I’d tried and failed to write books that felt like they were truly ‘me’, this one succeeded where all others had failed. I had the most amazing and yet difficult time of my life writing The Composition of a Crow which makes it all the more special. It’s literally forged from my own blood, sweat and tears. I don’t think I truly understood the expression until I delved into the most ambitious project I’ve completed to date.
