Emma Christie writes psychological thrillers set in Portobello, Edinburgh’s thriving seaside neighbourhood. Her debut novel THE SILENT DAUGHTER was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime. When she’s not travelling in her campervan Emma lives in Barcelona with her girlfriend Mari and far too many plants.

Book of the Year 2021, shortlisted for the Scottish Crime Debut of the Year 2021 and longlisted for the Crime Writers Association John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award 2021. It was followed in 2022 by her highly-acclaimed second novel FIND HER FIRST.

We had a rich conversation about how she has created a working life that she loves- writing and waking up in her van in different beautiful places.  If you want to feel inspired about how to live with integrity.
