Emma Denny Books In Order

Publication Order of The Barden / 14th Century Oxfordshire Books

Emma Denny is a published author known for writing stories about LGBTQIA+ historical romance that involve a lot of yearning, some swordplay, and quite a bit of kissing between characters in the woods.

Emma uses the pronouns they/she. They enjoy collecting daggers, going on peaceful walks in the forest, and drinking craft beer that is wholly overpriced.

In 2021, the author entered the Mills & Boon and RNA Romance Includes Everyone competition. She would win the competition. She had attempted to get started early on writing when she was young, being just eight and a half years old when she put in her first manuscript to a publisher. She was shocked when it was rejected, but it did not end up putting her off of writing.

Emma went on to study English and creative writing, getting a degree in the field. She became a professional copywriter and writing came into her life in a big way since she spends each day and all of each day writing.

The author also lives on the edge of a forest. She likes to make her way through the wilderness, all while spending some time thinking through the latest tangle in her plot, finding new craft ales to try, and getting her fair share of historical romance stories in.
