Author Interview: Emily Rath

Hello, fellow nerds! This week we have a super awesome interview with the "Pucking Around" Queen, Emily Rath!  We will be spending some time with Emily at @litlowcountry in South Carolina next month and tickets are still available! Come hang out with us! Emily Rath was raised in Northern Kentucky, near your fellow podcasters! A life-long lover of words, she’s been writing for as long as she could hold a pencil. Her earliest stories were about daring egg burglars, majestic horse lords, and seafaring adventurers. She put story-writing on hold for a few years…quite a few years…as she pursued higher education. She chose to focus on her other soul mate: international politics. This lover showed her the world outside of books. Now, she holds a BA in political science and philosophy and a PhD in peace studies and political science. She specializes in African politics and credits her time living in Malawi for reigniting her love of writing. She hates coffee and leeches and loves a why choose romance. Listen in as we chat more about Emily’s early regency romance work, the “Pucking Around” series, what they are currently reading, and all of their nerdiest things.
