ABOUT US

     Emily G Watson developed a love of story, adventure, and exploration from a young age, living in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf and the rainforests of Singapore in Southeast Asia before her family finally relocated to Sugar Land, Texas. Her adventures both in books and the great big world we call Earth have fueled her imagination and inspired more stories in her head than she could possibly write in one lifetime. She graduated from the University of Houston’s Honors College with a BA in History. After teaching US History for six years in a Northwest Houston public high school, Emily decided to make a career change that would allow her the time to purse more goals and interests in life, things which she did not have time for in the busy classroom, high stakes testing life. She is now earnestly seeking a career related to conservation and the outdoors that will allow her to also pursue her writing career.    

 

Other interests

     In addition to writing, Emily is an avid craftaholic, dabbling in book binding, map making, sewing, and other random projects she decides to try her hand at.

     She loves to be outside in the great outdoors, hiking and camping. Her friends know that if they can't find her, she is probably off getting lost in the woods somewhere. She took a road trip across the Southwest a few years ago and left a part of her soul in Arizona, which she intends to go find again someday. She loves fantastic views, warm desert sun, evergreen forests, and the smell of the sea. She seeks to honor Jesus and to pursue His glory wherever it may take her.
