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 that blend 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, continued Jimmy's adventures at Aster Academy and in the Polar Bear Wilderness. In Riptide Reef, Book Three, Jimmy faces a threatened ocean, fractured loyalties, and a dangerous mission that will test everything he has learned. 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, a bossy cat, and two dogs, including Ziggy, the real-life Otto, 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.
