Smith, Emily: - Emily Smith was born and raised in a small town in New Hampshire, where she started writing at an early age. Her grandmother was a children's author, and she comes from a family of English teachers. When she isn't writing, which is rare, Emily works in the medical field. She has been an EMT for years and is currently in school to become a physician assistant. She lives in Boston with her partner, where they try to escape to Provincetown as much as possible.
