Jacqueline Lepore

Jacqueline Lepore grew up in Philadelphia and attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a Ph. D. in professional psychology in 1987. She has worked as a licensed psychologist in practice for over twenty years. She resides in Maryland with her husband of twenty-six years. They have three children.
The Emma Andrews series, which combines elements of horror and romance with a strong mystery/thriller element, has Lepore delving deep into her psychological background. Set amidst the elements of the gothic romances she read voraciously growing up, these books give her the chance to explore the intricacies of relationships and personality in an ongoing series featuring an ensemble cast thrown into high stakes situations. She is ecstatic to have recaptured the pure love of storytelling that seems-similar to what Emma Andrews finds out in her quest-to be in her blood.
