Like a spider in a web, Marieke Frankema weaves together all the different aspects of her life. The most powerful line in the web is dedicated to writing. Storylines shoot out like silver threads, curling and twisting through the web of her life. She now has almost twenty books out and her work is featured in multiple anthologies.
The next books are in the making. All of them will contain a shimmer of magic, because Marieke loves to capture those little magical moments of everyday life to make them shine bright in her stories.
Besides fantasy and childrens books under her own name, she also publishes spicy fantasy romance as Emma Frank.
Emma Frank is a fantasy romance author with a passion for weaving magic, love, and challenges into her stories. From creatures sustained by pure magic to soaring cities, her worlds brim with mystery, heart, and just the right balance of adventure — and spice.
When she isn’t writing, you can find her on stage, singing or acting, or behind the microphone narrating audiobooks. She feels most at home at fantasy festivals like Castlefest and is always happy to dive into conversations about powerful heroines, love interests who are more than just a pretty face, subtle magic, past lives, and sixth senses.
