Emma Mills is thrilled to make her mystery debut with Rachel West. She is the author of six young adult novels, including First & Then, Foolish Hearts, and Something Close to Magic, and the middle grade graphic novel series The Greenies. When she is not writing, Emma can be found reviewing scientific documents, tending to her large collection of succulents, and deep-diving into various fandoms. Emma lives in St. Louis with her dog Teddy, who is best described as a big personality in a tiny package.
