Hello!
I'm Emily Rae, a speculative writer represented by Maria Whelan of InkWell Management. I love writing fast-paced, character-driven stories with heart and a bit of humor.
I'm a storyteller to my core, telling stories via film, design, and good ol' fashioned words.

THE STREGONI DEAL
All Cenzo wants is eternal life without the inconveniences of the human experience, like illness, death, and love. Selling his soul to Orcus, an ancient god, to become an undead creature of the night is a small price to pay, and all he has to do is collect human souls and turn them into fellow stregoni. Easy. Too bad he’s partnered with Viola, his ex-wife and fellow strega who holds a grudge about their mortal past life together.
Unfortunately, his line of work attracts a few enemies. Cenzo’s ‘blessed’ life runs out when a ‘holier-than-thou’ stregoni hunter, Erik, seeks revenge on Cenzo turning his sister. He injects Cenzo with a serum that makes him sick, tired, emotional, and undeniably mortal. To rub salt in the wound, Viola takes advantage of his mortality and attempts to kill him to reign the stregoni on her own.
But when Erik offers to create an antiserum in exchange for his sister, Cenzo must work with his nemesis to encase his damned soul in an impenetrable body--while escaping the wrath of his ex-wife and an angry god. If only his pesky human emotions didn’t stifle his progress. Guilt. Anger. Love. Talk about distracting.
