The Making of Emma St. Clair
Emma St. Clair’s writing spark ignited at age eight, scribbling stories that hinted at her future as a romance maestro. Raised with a love for books, she pursued an MFA in Fiction, initially focusing on literary novels. Before diving into romance, she wrote business books and devotionals, but a serendipitous idea during research for a Christmas devotional led her to the Billionaire Surprise series. Living in Katy, Texas, with her husband, five children, and a Great Dane, Emma’s small-town life infuses her stories with authentic charm.
Her shift to romance wasn’t planned—she once found billionaire romances unpalatable! But a vivid scene of a woman hiding in a men’s bathroom, meeting a billionaire, sparked her debut novel. That moment changed everything, leading her to quit her job and write full-time, balancing storytelling with roller derby and family life.
