Em’s Books

I write science fiction and fantasy novels, along with short stories and novellas in multiple genres. I am also a professional audiobook narrator and a Hugo award winning podcaster.

The Planetfall series

Four standalone science-fiction novels set in the near future. Shortlisted for the Best Series 2020 Hugo Award. Can be read in any order.

A completed five-book urban fantasy series (needs to be read in order!) featuring evil fae, mad sorcerers and lashings of feminism.

The Industrial Magic series

Gaslamp fantasy novellas (need to be read in order) set in 1850’s England where the industrial revolution is being powered by magical, rather than scientific advancements. More to come.

Short stories

From Dark Places is a collection of short stories (my first published work!) and the others are some of the anthologies that feature my stories.

Upcoming books?

I am working on another book in the Industrial Magic series, but I do not have a release date yet. I also have a couple of other secret things in development, along with a new Wild Cards short story.

The Split Worlds series is complete, but I may publish the short story collection one day.

I would dearly love to write another book in the Planetfall universe, but at present there are no publishing offers to support that.
