Writing bold adventures for kids who dream wild. Emily Arons, a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest, writes middle-grade sci-fi eco-adventures filled with wonder, friendship, and courage. After more than two decades developing beloved children's worlds at The Pokémon Company and Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro), she now creates her own stories--blending imagination, nature, and bold storytelling with kids at the heart. Her acclaimed debut novel, Miro Chronicles--praised by Kirkus Reviews for its "colorful settings and characters"--introduced readers to the world of Miro and the endlessly curious Jimmy Aster. Ameti Rising, the second book in the series, continues Jimmy's journey of courage, friendship, and environmental stewardship. Emily's passion for adventure extends beyond the page. She has run the Grand Canyon from rim to river and back, and climbed iconic peaks including Yosemite's Half Dome and Mt. Whitney.

Now living in Woodinville, Washington, with her family, two dogs--including Ziggy, the real-life Otto--and a bossy cat, she finds inspiration on Pacific Northwest trails, on the tennis court, and in the wild places that spark her imagination. Through her writing, she hopes to inspire kids to protect our planet and discover the courage within themselves.
