Getting to Know the Author

Hello! I am Erica Marie LaPres Emelander and I am glad you're here! I am a middle school social studies and religion teacher in Grand Rapids, MI. I have always enjoyed reading and writing, and with my love of history and God, I have incorporated all four loves into my writing.

When not working on and researching my books, I love spending time with my friends and family, especially my beloved nieces and nephews.

One of my favorite parts of being a writer is traveling to different locations and experiencing history.

I also coach middle and high school sports, and am a youth minister.
