Mystery writer Emily Crewse Kalka/Fantasy Writer Yvonne Monroe (Same person, just different names for different genres...)
According to my mother, I've been making up stories since I could talk. Usually, to get out of trouble, but then again, it's likely in my blood. I come from a long line of storytellers from the Ozarks.
Anywho, I started writing stories down at the ripe old age of 9 and since 14, I've dreamed of being a professional writer. I took a detour into journalism (I needed a regular paycheck, as small as it may be) and have spent the last 16 years working in news media as a reporter and copyeditor, mostly in Seoul, South Korea, though I never stopped writing fiction.
I'm currently a small-town newspaper reporter (which provides tons of inspiration for this wannabe mystery writer... soon to be wannabe cozy mystery writer) in Oklahoma, where I live with my rascals of pups Pippin, Poppy and Violet.
Some writers on Wattpad who are my absolute loves are @TamaraLush, @SabrinaBlackburry, @LuxRaven, @authorMayLynn, and @lizaalewis. (Tons more... just go through my Following list).
You can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and my personal website for updates on my books and random photos of life in a smalltown. And if you follow my website, you get access to my blog, which includes excerpts from upcoming works and unfinished works that I'm considering picking up again. ^_^
Thanks for visiting and I hope you stick around!
