Meet Em J. Knowles
I believe some places find us when we need them most.
The stories I write are filled with family secrets, hidden magic, spirits searching for the light, and women discovering that it is never too late to begin again.
Inspired by all the places I’ve visited, most especially old houses, Southern gardens, and the courageous women I’ve met along the way who know what it takes to start over.
The Witch Way Series explores what happens when ordinary women step through unexpected doors and discover they are far more powerful than they ever imagined.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me with a cup of tea, a notebook, a camera, or wandering in search of beautiful places and stories waiting to be told.
I'm so glad you're here.
Welcome to the circle.
