Emma Pass has been making up stories for as long as she can remember. She wrote her first novel – a sequel to Jurassic Park – when she was 13 in maths lessons with her notebook hidden under her work. She previously worked as a library assistant and is now a full-time writer, creative writing teacher, editor and mentor.

Emma has ME and, at the age of 40, was diagnosed as autistic. She lives with her artist husband and a very naughty retired racing greyhound called Auburn. When she’s not writing she loves to read and knit (often at the same time). She has published two novels for young adults, and her first novel for adults, WW2 romance Before the Dawn, is out now from Aria Fiction/Head of Zeus Books. A second novel will follow in 2023.
