Emma Carroll

 Emma Carroll is often known as the Queen of historical fiction and I agree with this completely. Her stories are full of facts and you can feel like you are there in the daring stories and worlds that she creates with paper and a pen. Her characters overcome challenges which help them create a better reality for themselves.
