Emmie Mears

Emmie Mears spends at least an hour a day preparing for or thinking about the zombie apocalypse. After growing up with a desperate hope that her DNA would bring her an awesome genetic mutation and the ability to teleport, she naturally gravitated toward writing strong female characters. She still loves the X-Men, but now she creates her own superheroes. Emmie lives outside D.C. with her husband and husky puppy. Emmie is represented by Jessica Negrón of Talcott Notch Literary Services. Emmie blogs often and tweets too much. In May 2013, Emmie founded Searching for SuperWomen as a place for geek women to groove on the things we love.
