Aside from reading and writing, she loves hiking and travel.
Emiko lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and children.
Her second novel, Empress of All Seasons, is inspired by her Japanese heritage.
About the Author Emiko Jean is the author of the psychological suspense novel We\'ll Never Be Apart.
Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy.
As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari\'s fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-y kai outcast.
If discovered, her life will be forfeit.
Mari is a y kai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster.
And it would be, if she weren\'t hiding a dangerous secret.
Winning should be easy.
Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress.
All are eligible to compete--all except y kai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy.
Marry the prince.
Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Survive the palace\'s enchanted seasonal rooms.
The rules are simple.
Each generation, a competition is held to find the next Empress of Honoku.
