Author's Bio:

I’m Mary Emma Allen, a children’s author, cooking and travel columnist,

quiltmaker and quilt book author, family/inspirational writer, and writing teacher/speaker.

I’ve always been eager to try new ventures in writing; as a result I’ve enjoyed working at

many types of writing and my books reveal this diversity. They include WHEN WE

BECOME THE PARENT TO OUR PARENTS (ISBN: 09651675-1-8), which

chronicles my mother’s journey through Alzheimer’s, TALES OF ADVENTURE &

DISCOVERY (ISBN: 0-9651675-0-X), a collection of children’s stories I’ve also

illustrated, THE MAGIC OF PATCHWORK, WRITING IN MAINE, NEW

HAMPSHIRE & VERMONT; and several manuals for writers.

My most recent work was a coloring book to accompany the children’s anthology.

Currently I’m working on writing activity books for children and a YA novel inspired by

my ancestors’ experiences during the U.S. Civil War era. Visit my web site:
