About the Author
Embla Storm is the pen name of a Norwegian author with a background as eclectic as the worlds she builds. A former after-school program director and social educator with a bachelor's degree in both film and child welfare, she has worked as a translator, project manager, cover designer, and film critic — accumulating a life spent at the intersection of storytelling and human connection.
That breadth of experience shows in her fiction. Drawing on her expertise in cognitive processes and child development, Embla crafts characters with genuine psychological depth — flawed, layered people navigating extraordinary circumstances. Her love of reading began early, fuelled by a fascination with strange creatures and impossible worlds, and that childhood sense of wonder never left her.
She writes Urban Fantasy Romance for the English-language market from her home in Halden, Norway — stories where the darkness is real, the magic is visceral, and love is never simple.
Currently writing: Dusk Hollow Investigations — a 16-book Urban Fantasy Romance series.
