Emma Theriault

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Emma Theriault was born and raised in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, and thus has a penchant for gothic revival architecture and a constant craving for Beavertails. She has been everything from an enthusiastic bookseller (who once sold a book to Prime Minister Trudeau) to a purveyor of whitewater rafting adventures in the Interior of British Columbia. When not writing books about curses and blood magic, she can be found eating burritos, hiking with her boyfriend or cuddling with her cats, Gatsby and Harriet.

Her YA fantasy debut, Rebel Rose, was a Canadian Children’s Book Centre starred selection for Best Books for Kids and Teens Fall 2021. SLJ said, "Theriault's writing is perfectly paced and the cast of characters developed with historical realism; fans of the movies will be satisfied by this evolution of a favorite Disney princess," while Kirkus praised the book as "a promising start to a new series of fairy-tale continuations grounded in historical events."
