The Labyrinth Wall, which was written during Emilyann's semi-truck traveling adventure with her husband and cat, has come a long way. In addition to landing the Amazon Best-Seller list, the book earned a 5 Star rating from Reader's Favorite, was a Dante Rossetti Young Adult Fantasy Award finalist, and has received high praise from teen and adult readers alike. Emilyann's writing has appeared on websites and blogs including Sound & Communications Magazine, The TV Shield, Center for Work Life, Easter Seals Florida, MU Museum of Art & Archaeology's Musings, and Examiner.com. She has been a guest and spoken for events with organizations such as Barnes & Noble stores, Wizard World Comic Con, AltCon, and MegaCon Fan Days. Entertainment industry pros such as actor Sean Astin (from Lord of the Rings, Rudy, 50 First Dates and more) and author Crystal Collier (Maiden of Time Trilogy) have mentioned Emilyann's work.
