Emma Davis     

    Emma Davis, is the proud author of Three Mucky Pups and Pups, Pancakes and Pandemonium, and the most recent, Scribbles From the Moments in Between.  She is a lover of the English language and writing for as long as she can remember.  Creating books bound in cereal boxes as a child for her siblings to read, marked the beginnings of promising authorship. After graduating in English and Celtic Civilisation from University College Cork, Emma continued to write short pieces of poetry and prose. 

     Due to the demands of a young, growing family, she worked in various community care jobs as dreams of being a writer were shelved for a time.  However, it was during this busy time at home, taking country walks with her family and pets in the mountains of Múscraí that inspired these stories and poems.

     For the two children's books, the wonderful artistic vision of Cork artist Spark Deeley was enlisted to bring these images to life.  Following a long journey, Fairy Fort Publications was established, and finally Three Mucky Pups and Pups, Pancakes and Pandemonium were launched. These colourfully, illustrated children's books are written in rhyme throughout, and follow Róisín and her sister, Síofra, on indoor and outdoor winter adventures with their mischievous pups.

    A few years on and Emma has dabbled in the world of poetry with her debut collection, Scribbles From the Moments in Between, aimed at an older audience of adults. These poems were the result of words scribbled on notepads and scraps of paper in the few moments stolen, in between the trials of busy family life. They ponder varied themes on our journey through life, including nature, parenthood, love, loss and a little bit of mischief throughout. 

Each poem is beautifully illustrated by the Cork artist, Amadita Rea, where she captures the essence of the themes with her amazing talent.
