Children’s books
For the last decade, I’ve been writing books for children. Here are descriptions of some of the stories I’ve written. I hope to announce their publication one day soon.
Claire Holcomb
and The Secret of Weaverville
by Emily Miles Terry
Middle grade fantasy, in process
When Claire Holcomb and her family move to Weaverville for her father’s cartography work, Claire is determined to help her father put the tiny town on the map—something no other cartographer has been able to accomplish. But Claire never expected that the reason Weaverville hasn’t been mapped is because a dreamkeeper is trapped in the town’s abandoned gold mine and a secret society of Celestial Cartographers have battled to keep Weaverville off the map for centuries to hide the dreamkeeper. Claire must figure out a way to stop her father from completing his map and free the dreamkeeper once and for all to prevent the death of dreams everywhere.
