THE ALLIANCE SERIES (Adult contemporary fantasy with sci-fi elements)
Start with Book One, ADAMANT.

THE DARKWORLD SERIES (upper-YA paranormal/urban fantasy)
Start with Book One, DARKNESS WATCHING.

Emma spent her childhood creating imaginary worlds to compensate for a disappointingly average reality, so it was probably inevitable that she ended up writing speculative fiction. She was born in Birmingham, UK, which she fled at the first opportunity to study English Literature at Lancaster University. In her three years at Lancaster, she hiked up mountains, skydived in Australia, and endured a traumatic episode involving a swarm of bees in the Costa Rican jungle. She also entertained her creative writing group and baffled her tutors by submitting strange fantasy tales featuring dragons and supernatural monsters to workshops. These included her first publication, a rather bleak dystopian piece, and a disturbing story about a homicidal duck (which she hopes will never see the light of day).
Now a reluctant graduate, Emma refuses to settle down and be normal. When not embarking on wild excursions and writing fantasy novels, she edits and proofreads novels for various publishing houses and reads an improbable number of books. Emma is currently working on the Alliance series, a multiple-universe adult fantasy featuring magic, monsters, cool gadgets and sarcasm. Her upper-YA urban fantasy Darkworld series is published by Curiosity Quills Press.

Darkness Watching (Darkworld #1)

Eighteen-year-old
Ashlyn is one interview away from her future when she first sees the demons.
She thinks she's losing her mind, but the truth is far more frightening: she
can see into the Darkworld, the home of spirits– and the darkness is staring
back.
Desperate to escape the demons, Ash accepts a place at a university in the small town of Blackstone, in the middle of nowhere - little knowing that it isn't coincidence that led her there but the pull of the Venantium, the sorcerers who maintain the barrier keeping demons from crossing from the Darkworld into our own world.
All-night parties, new friendships and a life without rules or limits are all part of the package of student life - but demons never give up, and their focus on Ash has attracted the attention of every sorcerer in the area. Ash is soon caught between her new life and a group of other students with a connection to the Darkworld, who could offer the answers she's looking for. The demons want something from her, and someone is determined to kill her before she can find out what it is.
In a world where darkness lurks beneath the surface, not everyone is what they appear to be...

Few
people know twenty-one year old Ada Fletcher is actually from another universe.
After a devastating magical wore tore apart her homeworld, she and her family
were forced to defy the Inter-World Alliance and hide on the low-magic Earth.
Stuck in a dead-end job in London, Ada has spent her life hiding her real
identity and risking her safety to help others from her homeworld. Until she
loses her job, is chased by a rampaging monster, and is arrested by the
Alliance as a prime suspect for a murder she had nothing to do with. It really
isn't Ada's day.
Kay Walker, grandson of the Alliance's late founder, expects to spend his first week as an Alliance employee chasing monsters out of the Passages between worlds, not solving his supervisor's murder or questioning a strange, fierce young woman he arrested in the Passages. Killer or not, she's hiding something, and the closer he gets to the truth, the higher the body count rises.
The last thing Ada wants is to help the infuriating Alliance guard who arrested her, but it soon becomes clear that the Alliance knows too much about Ada's magic. More, in fact, than she knows herself. Now she has to choose between loyalty to her family, and helping the Alliance save the Earth -- and the Multiverse -- from a deadly enemy.

Two
years ago, the fiends invaded, with a devastating explosion that split the
world in two. Even now, energy blasts strike without warning, destroying
everything in their paths. The fiends hunt anyone unlucky enough to escape.
My name is Leah. An energy blast killed my group. It should have killed me, too. Instead, I woke up alone in the wilderness, stalked by the fiends.
My only hope is the red-cloaked strangers who call themselves the Pyros. They can do the impossible and make flames shoot from their hands, and are more than a match for the fiends. Right now, my one chance for safety -- and revenge -- is with them.
But they're keeping secrets from me. Like those skeletons hidden under their base. And the reasons I developed a psychic link with someone who can't stand the sight of me -- after he saved my life.
If I don't uncover the truth about why the world ended the first time, my new safe haven might go up in smoke...
Indestructible is the first in a YA post-apocalyptic fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Divergent, Angelfall and The Mortal Instruments.
Books in the series:
Indestructible (Indestructible, #1) - out now
Ablaze (Indestructible, #2) - available to pre-order (out April 4 2016)
Transcendent (Indestructible, #3) - June 2016
