Brief description: Emma K. Ohland (she/they) is an author who has been telling stories since before she knew how to write them down. She grew up in the middle of a cornfield in Indiana, but her imagination often carried her away to other worlds. She graduated from Purdue University with a BA in English literature. Her first YA novel, Funeral Girl, was selected as a 2023 Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year. She lives in Texas with her partner, their cat, and their dog.
Review Quotes:
"Funeral Girl is a touching debut about ghosts, grief, and the relationships we have with people both living and dead."--Nita Tyndall, author of Who I Was with Her
