Emily Drake

Emily Drake is my pen name for young adult fantasy, chosen because drake is a clever alternate name for dragon and I thought my readers would appreciate it. The picture at the left was taken in September, 2003 at mystical, wonderful Stonehenge when I took the dream journey of a lifetime to London and Paris. A book was my magic carpet to adventure in my years growing up, and I try to pass on the tradition. I’m a full time writer and have raised a blended family: his, mine and our children, any of whom can, have been and will be used as characters in my books. My office is shared with a black cocker spaniel and a long-haired Siamese mix cat who tolerate each other and vie to see who gets the cozy space under my desk…him, her, or my feet which belong there! I’ve published more than forty novels with similar office mates urging me on, so it’s no wonder my books are populated with animals of various kinds. It is the hope of all of us involved in the endeavor that you, the reader, will enjoy our imaginations.
