Emma Anderson sits down for a question-and-answer session with dru’s book musings so that we can learn more about her. Let’s get to know Emma.

What is your full name?
Emma Helene Anderson

How old are you?
I’m 31.

What is your profession?
I’ve recently started working as a crime beat photographer for ErieLIVE, an online news outlet.

Do you have a significant other?
Yes.

What is their name and profession?
Matthias Honeywell is a police detective in Erie, PA.

Do you have any children?
No.

Who is your best friend?
Eric Baker has been my best friend since we were kids.

Do you have cats, dogs, or other pets?
I used to have horses and cats, but sadly, I don’t have any pets at the moment.

What town do you live in?
Erie, Pennsylvania.

What type of dwelling do you own or rent?
I have a 17-foot camper on a leased site at Sara’s Campground.

What is your favorite spot in your home?
It’s not very big, so I’m going to say my covered deck. It’s the only spot that doesn’t feel a little claustrophobic.

What is your favorite meal and dessert?
I love curry. For dessert, cheesecake!

Do you have any hobbies?
My photography isn’t really a hobby. But I still love taking pictures outside of work. Also, I enjoy riding my bike.

What is your favorite vacation spot?
Anyplace in Colorado. It’s gorgeous out there.

What is your idea of a really fun time?
Spending a lazy weekend with Matthias, watching movies on Netflix.

If you were to write a memoir, what would you call it?
In Search of Nell. It feels like I’m constantly trying to find my younger sister.

Amateur or professional sleuth and whom do you work with?
Amateur. I don’t think of myself as a sleuth, but I do get drawn into cases that Matthias is working on (which answers your second question). Or he gets drawn into stuff I stumble into.

What is a typical day in your life like?
If I wake up early enough, I take a quick bike ride around the Peninsula, then I grab a shower and drive downtown to ErieLIVE’s offices. I’m usually assigned to tag along with one of the reporters and take photos to go with their stories. After work, Matthias and I might get to spend some time together, but his job is unpredictable, so my second option is going back to the campground to relax.

Emma Anderson has seen more than her share of cases since becoming a journalist in Lake Erie, and with news of the shooting becoming local interest, her instincts kick in. What she didn’t expect to uncover was a secret that could cause an ethical dilemma between Matthias and Cassie.

As the search for the sniper continues and the investigation taking a dark turn, Cassie and Emma find themselves caught up in a kidnapping plot. As the women are forced to draw on their resourcefulness to survive, will they manage to escape or is time against them?
