About Emilie

Emilie Barage was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago and when she wasn't trying to be surrounded by friends every moment of every day, she was reading and watching Criminal Minds. Devouring every book she could get her hands on, she soon started sneaking her mother's romance novels (even though she's sure that she knew about it).

It's the love of true crime and silly romance novels that inspired her to write her first book The Man Across the Alley.

When she isn't dreaming up stories, she drinks wine and does improv around the city of Chicago
