My real name is Emily Smith, but we all know why I can’t go by that.

. . . there are at least ten million other Emily Smiths out there, guys.

I write and narrate speculative fiction: specifically sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I’m based in Omaha, Nebraska. Yes, we do have electricity here. No, gosh darn it, we don’t ride horses to work.

We ride tractors.

Please know I’m kidding, please know I’m kidding

At least most of us don’t

I look super serious here. Must’ve been thinking up a death scene for a character.

Here I am cosplaying Misty from Pokemon.

 

I also like to dabble in cosplay, play video games and D&D, and watch anime. I’m a super nerd and I love it.

 
 

If you like mermaids, robots, or monsters, you’ve come to the right spaceship.

Lose yourself in magic,
Then find yourself on Mars—
Now run, dear reader, from the beast!
It does love a racing heart.
