Biography

Kika Emers makes her home in the hills of Connecticut with two quirky shih-tzus, Akira Star and Bentley. Akira brings the mayhem and Bentley, the calm. Kika enjoys instapot cooking, reading monster romance, sipping loose-leaf tea, and bellydancing. Not all at the same time, though.

When she has spare time, she can be found doing Chinese Watercolor Painting, playing the harp, brushing up on her Chinese language skills, or napping with her shih-tzus.

Kika Emers is a pen name created from her nicknames for her first and her third shih-tzus, Emers and Kika.

Kika Emers also writes PG-13 YA time travel mysteries as K. C. Tansley, and paranormal suspense for adults as Kourtney Heintz. As Kourtney Heintz, she minored in Chinese at Georgetown University and received a Master in Pacific International Affairs with a regional focus on China from UCSD.
