All About Emma Larkins
Welcome to My Page!
I am, first and foremost, a creative problem solver. Right now, the focus of that problem-solving is on writing, fiction and otherwise. I do other things, of course, such as cooking, snowboarding, the awesomest sport in the world (a.k.a. Ultimate Frisbee), and yoga, but writing is what I hope to make a living off of.
I would totally be a professional Ultimate player, if I could, but unfortunately the world isn't quite ready for that level of insanity.
My work is currently in a couple of markets, and I'll update my progress here as it occurs. Wish me luck!
And to all of you aspiring authors out there - keep up the good work! I've got a bit of experience, and I'm always open to giving advice. Don't hesitate to ask questions!

Mechalarum: A Science Fiction Novel
From the page:
"Love. Power hunger. Betrayal. The theft of a part-organic, part-machine prototype flying suit and the threat of interplanetary war. The actions of a strong but foolhardy woman setting off a sequence of events that will determine the future of at least one world."
The Prancing Laggard Pub
Gaming Humor Publication
In March of 2012, I helped to launch an online video game humor magazine called The Prancing Laggard Pub.
The goal of the site is to gather unique viewpoints on gaming in a humorous way. Unlike other gaming sites, we're not focused on reviews or news. Also, we strive to be all-inclusive: we're just as interested in featuring articles by casual gamers, tablet gamers, tabletop and card gamers, LARPers, etc., as we are in featuring articles by hardcore gamers about FPSs.
We want to pay writers! If you (or someone you know) is a freelance writer, use this form on the site to contact us about writing articles.

Good luck wit your career. I enjoy reading sci-fi books - usually on my Kindle app. Would be nice to run across yours.
Wish you luck, indeed. Always happy to find another dedicated writer on Squidoo. May you find--and make--the best of luck here.
Good to meet you, Emma! Looks like your blog is going to go from strength to strength. I'm just sniggering over the 'hand grenade'. Although I should add that I've been learning Chinese and I can tell you if they have trouble sometimes with getting it right in English, just watch us translate into their language! :)
I checked out your website, youamuseme, and that was hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh, and thank you for a very helpful advice for my lens.
