E.M. Knowles lives in historic Cook County, Georgia with a lovingly patient husband and a gregarious little daughter. She has worked for Examiner.com as their Savannah Progressive Examiner and as part of the 2010 Southeast Regional Elections Team and is currently a member of The Berrien County Historical Foundation. As a graduate of Columbia College with a B.A. in psychology and sociology, and as enraptured by current events as she is history, her works of fiction lean to the cerebral and macabre. Her novels have been award winners for NaNoWriMo in consecutive years with Diary of Mimosa Creek
